How can hunger be a blessing?
Believe me, a person without hunger is a miserable person who lives a meaningless life.
Yes, hunger is a great blessing!
When you tithe, you stir up your hunger within you.
Last week, someone asked me, “Bo, you’re a entrepreneur and a missionary. If you were only an entrepreneur, you’d probably be ten times richer!”
The answer is a resounding No! If I wasn’t a missionary, I’d be ten times poorer. Because if I wasn’t a missionary, I wouldn’t have had the great hunger I have today.
Here’s my guess: After the initial success of my businesses, I would have remained complacent. I’d tell myself, “Why earn more? Why work harder?” There was no purpose.
But because my goal was to raise money for my ministry, this hunger drove me to earn more.
I’m truly rich now because I tithe—and give more than my tithe.
And I have so many dreams for God’s work. These dreams fuel my hunger.
I have met people who have earned a lot of money and have lost their passion for life. Because they have lost their hunger. Their dreams have been fulfilled and they have no new dreams.
But that’s because they only think of themselves.
Two weeks ago, I told my audience, “I’ve got bad news, good news, and bad news. Bad news: My accountant says it’ll take lots of money to make our dream of building 1000 Feasts come true. Good news: We now have all the money we need to build 1000 Feasts. Praise God! And finally, here’s the Bad news: All that money is still in your pockets.”
I believe that if Catholics start tithing, we’ll have all the money to do God’s work.
