Proverbs 11- Generosity

"The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller. The one who blessed others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped" Proverbs 11:24-25

Since Christmas is exactly 2 weeks away, what better topic than generosity? :) It's so easy to get consumed by material things at great prices, during the holidays. But being generous is more than giving gifts. It includes spending time, helping others, and doing selfless acts. Let's focus on how we can be a blessing to people we know as wells as strangers. The Lord looks at our hearts (1 Samuel 16:7), so of course we shouldn't give solely to get blessings, but we should give from a pure heart. Although we may not see millions of dollars fall from the sky instantly, The Lord is taking notes. He won't forget about his children.
