Generosity Theology

I give.

Because He first gave to me.

God has given us all.

He is all and is in all.

He holds the universe in His hands.

He loves us as his own children. Because of His Love, I will freely give. Because of His Love, my sins are washed away. Because of His Love, I live. Jesus has overcome the world, he has overcome death. New life is born. Thank you for giving me new life. In response to this, I give generously. It is my response to his grace poured upon me. I do not give to show off, I do not give out of guilt, I do not give because I am rich, nor do I give in hopes of gaining wealth. No, I give because He first gave to me new life, so this is my response. This is my way to show I am thankful for what he has given to me. It isn't much, but it is out of my thankfulness that I give. It brings me great joy to give. I stand firm in Him and I trust in Him to continue to provide for my needs.
Naturally, it is hard to give. It hurts. Especially not having a consistent job. But when I remember why I give, and to whom I give to it changes things. I am blessed beyond measure and this is my response.
