Guiding Scripture: Proverbs 22:9 ‘The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.’

Thoughtful Generosity

Written by Torrie Slaughter

Being liberal with our time, assets, or talents is scientifically proven to increase joy. Our overall understanding of happiness propels us to bond with others. One could say that great relationships are a by-product of generosity.

Could you imagine a society that celebrates charity above consumption?

Well, until that glorious day when Christ returns, we can use Proverbs 22:9 as a guide. Consider your ‘stuff.’ Do you own things that would be beneficial to someone else? Of course, you do; we all have such items. The next step is to consider being generous.
