Generosity  

True generosity is giving of yourself for the sake of others. 
God calls us to give everything we have to the glory of God 
and to specifically give of our possessions and ourselves as 
we participate in God’s mission on earth.

Remember This
Whoever sows sparingly will also reap 
sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap 
generously.  Each of you should give what you have decided 
in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for 
God loves a cheerful giver.  2 Corinthians 9:6-7


In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard 
work we must help the weak, remembering the words the 
Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to 
receive.  Acts 20:35
