Die Inside, Smile Outside
Scenario: You know a person has a great capacity to give. Knowing this, you ask for a significant gift. They consider your request and end up giving a gift much lower than you asked or expected.
How do you react?
From my personal experience I can say two things occur.
You die inside
You smile outside
You have no choice but to graciously accept their gift and thank them for their help. Remember your goal is to bring them to a decision. You have done that. Thank them and thank the Lord while you continue to update them on your ministry and look for opportunities down the road to elevate their giving.
