Blessed Generosity

The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11:25

Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." That means that we should be generous with other people - but sometimes we don't feel much like sharing. Instead of sharing the things that we have, we want to keep them all to ourselves. That's when we must remember that God doesn't want selfishness to rule our hearts; He wants us to be generous.
Are you lucky enough to have nice things? If so, God's instructions are clear: you must share your blessings with others. And that's exactly the way it should be. After all, think how generous God has been with you.

"If you want to be truly happy, you won't find it on a endles quest for more stuff. You'll find it in receiving God's generosity and then passing that generosity along." -- Bill Hybels
