“In defiance of all the torture, of all the might, of all the malice of the world, the liberal soul will ever be rich; for God’s providence is His estate, God’s wisdom and power are his defense, God’s love and favor are his reward, and God’s Word is his security.”
Isaac Barrow (1630-1677) Anglican scholar, in Day’s Collacon compiled and arranged by Edward Parsons Day (New York: IPPO, 1884) 505.
When we choose liberality, we tap into true riches. Regardless of what others are doing, we must choose generosity. It’s the pathway that places our lives firmly in God’s providential care. Whatever we are holding back from God is that which we are trusting in instead of God.
