How A McDonald’s French Fry Can Teach Us About God’s Generosity

(And Our Selfish Lack Of Gratitude)

Rick Warren tells, in How Does God Respond to Your Generosity, about a father who bought his young son a super-size French fries. When the father took one fry the son became upset and told his father that the fries were his and he couldn’t have any.

The fries weren’t the son’s. They were given out of generosity and could be claimed at any time. And the father could have as many of his own at any time.

This is a simple lesson about important truths:

“First, God wants you to remember that he is the source of everything you’ve got. You would have nothing—you wouldn’t even be alive!—if it weren’t for God. Second, God could take it all away from you in an instant, or he could double it, because he’s got the power. Third, God doesn’t need your money. He just wants you to learn to be unselfish and develop your faith.”
