Proverbs 22:9 NKJV
He who has a generous eye will be blessed, For he gives of his bread to the poor.
Proverbs 22:9 NKJV
A generous person reflects Christ, having an eye to look out for the needs of others and availing themselves to help in any way they can. This is because they believe in meeting genuine needs.
A genuine, generous person can discern evil desires and real needs; they can discern what are lies and what is truth.
A generous person feeds the needy but doesn't feed greed. Christ is the perfect model of generosity for us to follow. He exposed greed but fed the hungry, giving Himself so that all may benefit from His life.
Christ looks for those who open their hearts to receive Him and blesses them with His abundance.
Today, as a blessed person in Christ, generosity is not something we have to do - generosity is our lifestyle.
It is part of our lives. We are a generous people in Christ because we have been blessed with God's abundance.
Generosity allows people to taste the sweetness of God, giving those who can't afford to receive a gift and being healed when they are sick.
We carry the generosity of God to the needy world. Let us continue to reflect Jesus Christ by reflecting His generosity.
Blessings,
Ps Ambrose
