Generous Like the Father

Generosity rarely starts with a number. It starts with a picture of God — is he a withholding accountant, or a Father who gives good gifts?

Cheerful, not cornered

Paul says God loves a cheerful giver. Not a guilted one, not a pressured one. Joy is the fuel and the fruit of a generous life.

When we see how much we’ve received, giving stops feeling like loss and starts feeling like family.
