Generosity

"Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full-pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back." (Luke 6:38) (NLT)
 

Good Morning Oddballers,

Today I want to touch on Generosity since it is around the time of Valentine's Day (or Singles Awareness Day depending on who you talk to), I want to touch on how to me, Valentine's Day isn't always about your significant other or family on that day. I try to be generous and loving to everyone in my life.

Let's be generous with our generosity to others. Whether this type of generosity comes from things we say, things we do, or gifts we give. It should come from the heart with the best intentions and with the expectation that you probably won't get anything back for it. It's kind of like the concept of openess. Openess is the idea that you share things with people without being asked. Generosity is kind of the same way. Giving to others without being asked or expecting anything in return.

Gifts can be of any kind. Time, Kind Words, Transportation, Cards, Notes, Friendship, Helping a Hand, and Objects are all things we can give to each other. Imagine if everyone of us was generous to the people around us. I'm pretty sure no one would be sad on Valentine's Day or Christmas. Everyone would have recieved the love and affection from others that Christ gives to us every time we take a breath. Generosity is such a powerful thing. It not only builds character, it builds a Christ-loving role model for those younger and more inexpirienced at life than you are.

One thing that I wish for life is for more and more people to become generous people. Just like the Bible verse says today. You will be given back more than you can imagine. It might not be right away, but it sure does come back in amazing ways.

Let us all be more generous people in our lives.

Thanks for Reading Today

God Bless,

Oddball
