If you live in a fairly urban environment where hipsters are locally grown, I’m pretty sure you know what TOMS shoes are. Every super cool worship leader probably owns a pair which are kept next to the pile of deep v-neck shirts and aviator RayBan’s. I’m not a hater, I’m a documenter who loves noting the social trends 😉
Hipster in TOMS
To the shame of my openmindedness I pride myself in, I picked up a pair from the floor of my sister’s room with two fingers and displayed a look of confusion. Look Bianca, she said as she slipped on her 100% organic shirt over her tattooed arms and pierced nose, It’s not about the shoe itself. It’s about the cause. For every pair of shoes purchased, a pair is given to a child in a third world country.
I gave her one my well-isn’t-that-sweet smiles and blinked rapidly while trying to think of what to say next. I placed the smelly shoe on the floor and asked how much she paid for an archless, heel-less, fabuless shoe.
So let me get this straight, I asked to make sure I heard her correctly. You paid $45 for a shoe it took four dollars to make. But it’s considered altruistic because another four dollar shoe made in China will be given to a child who probably made the shoe themselves?! She gave me one of her you’re-so-annoying plastic smiles and nodded her head. I left the room feeling 1. upset that I touched smelly shoes and 2. more upset because some guy [who’s name isn’t Tom] is being deified for 10%.
Then I got smacked upside my head. By Tom.
How much do I give back to the Creator of the universe? Ten percent. The worst part? I feel so self-righteous for it. Yes God, look at me! I’m giving back to you! I’m so holy! No, not through acting like a boisterous Pharisee, but my nafarious heart was exposed by Tom and his cohorts.
It’s not how much we give. It’s how we give. Malachi 3:8 says we rob God when we don’t give Him what is required. But I don’t want to live in loving through what is required. I want to live in loving more than what is required. To give liberally and without reproach like the love and blessings that have been given to me.
How is God blessing you? How are you giving back? Are you tithing with a happy heart and open hand?
