“Generosity is like love in this way. People often say that we increase the love we have by giving it away. When we love other people more, we often find that the love we feel and enjoy only grows more…It is the same with generosity.”
Christian Smith and Hilary Davidson in The Paradox of Generosity: Giving We Receive, Grasping We Lose (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014) 8.
Growing in generosity is learning to receive, enjoy, and share God’s material and spiritual blessings. Everyone can participate regardless of the level of resources. Wherever you are at today with regard to generosity, resolve today to stretch yourself to a deeper level of sacrifice and see what happens.
