Why Generosity Is Not a Moment, But a Lifestyle

1. Generosity is generated from a grateful spirit.

It is proven that whatever we are grateful for, we are generous toward. In other words, our greatest generosity is toward the people or things we are thankful for.

If we are grateful for our car, we are generous to care for it. If we are grateful for our mom and dad, we are generous toward them.

If we are grateful for our church, we are generous toward our church.

Proverbs 22:9 … He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor.

2. Generosity is never a guessing game.

Ever been to one of those lunches and you wondered who’s paying? The poser always acts as if they are willing. However, the truly generous makes it clear from the beginning.

The generous ones demand the tab immediately and take the mystery out of who is picking up the tab. 

Generosity should not a guessing game, but a blessing game. The truly generous go there first.

Those living a life of generosity are very intentional. They simply step up and lead the way.
