I have studied the word generosity, which means, the quality of being generous. To be generous means, willing to give or share, or unselfish. We know that giving is what the Lord is all about. God so loved that He gave us Jesus. Luke 6:38 is quoted very often in the church especially around offering time. However, Luke 6:38 is a promise and a principle. Not just at offering time, but all the time. And it is not always about money.
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38)
Jesus expands the universal principle of, ” give and it will be given unto you. ” He teaches that a generous man or unselfish woman will not only benefit from the generosity and graciousness of others, but “they will pour into your lap a good measure–pressed down, shaken together, and running over!” Giving to others, in little acts of kindness or through a generous attitude of care and concern, will often result in thoughtful deeds and a gracious attitude being reflected back upon the giver: “For by your standard of measure,” He explains, “it will be meted out to you in return.”
I guess what I am trying to say, is be generous today. Share out of real concern of others from your storehouse. Watch God pour you out blessings into your life. We don’t to it to get just for ourselves, we do it to get to give, to get to give. We do it because Jesus gave.
