May • Day 15
Generosity Changes Us
Day 135 of 365 • FINANCES
“Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.”
— Proverbs 11:25 (ESV)
Proverb Truth
I remember hearing someone say years ago that money is like manure. If you pile it up, it stinks. But if you spread it around, things grow.
Because generosity changes people. Not just the people receiving the gift. Us.
I’ve known people with very little who lived with incredible joy. And I’ve known people with tremendous wealth who seemed trapped by fear. The difference wasn’t their bank account. It was their heart.
Life becomes bigger when we stop making it all about ourselves.
Jesus in Action
Jesus gave freely. His time. His compassion. His attention. And ultimately, His life. Love has always been generous because God Himself is generous.
Forged Wisdom
Seneca believed that wealth finds its highest purpose when it serves others rather than ourselves.
The No Limits Challenge
Look for an opportunity this week to quietly bless someone.
Prayer
Father, thank You for Your generosity toward me. Teach me to hold everything with open hands and make me a blessing to the people around me. Amen.
