“So, what needs to happen in your heart and mind if you’re not generous, if you tend to be afraid of sharing your possessions with others?
If you feel afraid of giving generously, you need to consider how much God has loved you, you who have nothing to bring to him to deserve his generosity. His love is so complete for you that he has adopted you as his own child. As this Gospel truth-once you were destitute, but now you have been made whole-becomes more of a reality to you, the more you’ll want to alleviate the burdens of others with the resources you’ve been given.”
