We’ve been brought into a new story, one driven by Christ’s love. This love compels us--we are wrapped up in the story and begin to see and feel what God sees and feels; it controls us--it causes us to do things we wouldn’t otherwise do; and it commissions us--we become ambassadors and ministers of reconciliation, “God making his appeal through us.” Since we’ve been given a new story, we’re in the business of helping others write new stories. That’s why we partner; that’s why we give.
