Generous Living: What is it? We are challenged in scripture
to live for Christ. Think about it, God designed us, He gives us passions and
gifts for different reasons but for one purpose and that is to conform to the
image of Christ. Let’s focus on the phrase “give generously.”
What does it mean to live generously? I recently read an
article by Jay Link who leads a Stewardship ministry. He suggests three steps
that might help you live generously today. First, ask God to help you see needs
around you. Have an open mind. Don’t judge people but ask God to help you see
people the way God sees people. Second, show compassion, be understanding, pray
for the needs of others. Have an open heart. Finally, if you can do
something to help, do it! How can you serve others? Maybe financially, maybe by
an act of service, maybe by an encouraging word. Have an open hand!
Do you have an open mind, an open heart, and an open hand?

want to live generously have an open mind, an open heart and an open hand!
