VERSE:
Command them [the rich] to do good, to be rich in good deeds,
and to be generous and willing to share.
-- 1Timothy 6:18

THOUGHT:
Generosity is such a wonderful thing -- not just to those on the
receiving end, but also to those who are on the giving end. Those
of us who can read this devotional on a computer via e-mail are
rich by the world's standards, so this passage on being generous
with our blessings is especially applicable. Let this giving-time
of the year be God's opportunity to reawaken in us the need to be
generous with our time, energy, and monetary blessings year round.
PRAYER:
O loving God, you have been so generous with me and blessed me
with so many incredible blessings. Thank you! Stir in my heart an
awareness of the joy of giving. Make my heart more like your own,
generous and gracious. Break down the anxiety and miserliness that
sometimes cloud my vision and keep me from sharing my time, money,
energy, and love as I should. Thank you for showing me how to be
generous in Jesus. I pray this in the name of Jesus, my Savior and
Lord. Amen.
