Message “Generous Giving with a Heart” Marieta Flores
“Why is generous giving such an integral part of being a Christian? And how can we, as followers of Christ, cultivate a lifestyle of cheerful giving not just in terms of money, but in every aspect of our life.? Generous giving is not merely an action. It is giving with open hands and open heart, not compelled by obligation, but motivated by love and faith. When we choose to be generous we are reminded that everything we have is a gift from God and that the joy of giving is found in reflecting God’s love for us.
“For it is in giving that we receive.”
~ Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi (c. 13th century)
Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
As long as ever you can.
~ John Wesley, from Letters of John Wesley
“Everything we have is borrowed from God, including my body
that holds the soul for a while to manifest itself in the world.”
~ John Song
