How to Live Generously
What’s your most prized possession? It might be the most valuable thing you own, like the house you’ve worked your whole life to afford. But it could also be a photo from a special time you spent with someone you loved or a meaningful gift from a friend.
The value we assign to our “things” is often tangled up with our emotions. How we choose to use the things we cherish most reveals our true priorities.
Jesus’ death on the cross is one of the greatest examples of God’s generosity. Despite knowing we could never repay Him, God didn’t hesitate to give up His greatest treasure—His only Son—for us. Through that sacrificial act, He demonstrated what true generosity looks like: giving something precious for the sake of others, driven by love.
You don’t have to just give financially to practice generosity. Living generously means recognizing that God can do anything He wants through the gifts He has given you. Your giving may be financial, but it can also be something else, like offering your time to serve at your local church or hosting someone in your home. The possibilities are endless, but the results are consistent: when you honor Him with your giving, it draws you closer to Him and brings Him glory.
Generosity flows out of a thankful and trusting heart. The more you trust God with what you have, the more He starts to entrust you with.
Ultimately, giving will remind you that you are not in control, but you know the One who is in control—and He can provide for all your needs.
So what do you have to give? Try finding a place where you can invest what you have in some way. Start small, or go big. Just start.
