ARE YOU A GIVER?
God’s heart overflows
with generosity and mercy. And as believers in a loving God, we must, to the
best of our abilities, imitate our Heavenly Father. Because God has been so
incredibly generous with us, we, in turn must be generous with others.
Jesus has
much to teach us about generosity. He teaches that the most esteemed men and women
are not the self-congratulatory leaders of society but are, instead, the
humblest of servants.
If you were being
graded on generosity, how would you score? Would you earn an A in philanthropy
and humility, hopefully so. But if your grades could stand a little Improvement,
today is the perfect day to begin.
Today, you
may feel the urge to hoard your blessings. Don’t do it. Instead, give generously
to your neighbors, and do so without fanfare. Find a need and fill it…humbly.
Lend a helping hand and share a word of kindness…anonymously. This is God’s
way.
How would
you rate your humility and generosity today? However your rate, as humans most
of us have room for improvement. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to start
fresh, New Year, new attitude!
The greatest among you
must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who
humble themselves will be exalted. Matthew 23:11
