DESIRING GOD IN SAN CLEMENTE  COVENANT OF GENEROSITY

I AM COMMITTED TO MOVING AWAY FROM COMFORT AND MOVING TOWARDS NEED THROUGH GENEROSITY AND BY THE ACT OF GENEROUS GIVING:

1) I hereby trust you, God, as my happy, generous Shepherd, Father and King, who will supply all of my needs according to the riches of His grace, so that I will not be afraid when I have less money and things for myself in supplying the needs of others.

2) I hereby resist the incredible pressure in our culture to accumulate more and more and cast my lot with the impulse to simplicity for the sake of others.

3) I hereby lay up treasure in heaven and not on earth so that my joy in God will be maximized forever.

4) With my moving away from comfort towards need I, declare that since my treasure is in heaven, my heart goes after God and away from wealth.
