We live in a world obsessed with accumulation – more money, more success, more security. But the gospel calls us to live with open hands, not clenched fists. Generosity isn’t just about giving money; it’s a lifestyle of blessing others with what we’ve been given.

Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35). That’s not just a moral principle – it’s a kingdom reality. When we give, we reflect God’s heart and unleash joy in both the giver and the receiver.

Paul encourages the Corinthians, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give … for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7). True generosity flows from the heart, not from guilt or pressure.

We’ve been blessed to be a blessing. Whether it’s our finances, time, talents, or attention, we all have something to give.

Generosity can look like:

• Supporting someone in need.
• Volunteering your time at church or in your community.
• Encouraging others with your words.
• Sharing your home, your table, or your skills.

Proverbs 11:25 reminds us, “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” God’s economy is upside-down: the more we give, the more we receive.

Generosity isn’t about wealth – it’s about willingness. The widow gave two small coins, and Jesus praised her above all (Mark 12:41–44). Because she gave sacrificially and from the heart.

Living generously breaks the grip of greed and invites God’s provision. It teaches us to trust Him as our source, not our bank account or resources.

Ask God today: “How can I bless someone else?” You might be surprised by how many opportunities are right in front of you.
