“Generosity’s Measure”
Our God is SO GENEROUS:
- I get to live like a “river” not a reservoir!
- I get to experience the release of extraordinary Joy as I do river-life!
- I get to start by “returning the first of me and mine” to Him and His Kingdom.
- I get to trust Him, focusing on His Promises as I step out in faith to give generously.
“Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others.” Luke 21
Jesus-styled generosity is measured not by the size of the gift but the size of the sacrifice!
It’s a heart thing! He noticed what was left more than what was given!
“In severe trial, their overflowing joy and extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 2 Cor. 8
Sacrifice – Human view?
Sacrifice – Jesus view?
What does this mean for me? “…in view of God’s mercy, offer your bodies as a living sacrifice” Rom 12
