Living Open-Handed: 30 Days of Generosity and Impactنموونە

The Joy of Generosity

What if giving brought you more joy than keeping?

The Bible says that God loves a cheerful giver. Cheerful means glad and willing. True generosity comes from a grateful heart, not from guilt or pressure.

Think about the last time you gave someone a gift they really wanted. You probably enjoyed seeing their reaction as much as they enjoyed receiving it. That's how God gives. The most famous verse in the Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son.” He gave because He loved, and He invites us to do the same.

When we give with joy, we reflect God’s heart to the world.

Reflection Question: When have you experienced joy through giving?

Call to Action: Give something today purely for the joy of blessing someone.

Prayer: Father, thank You for the joy that comes from giving. Help me give freely and gladly. Amen.
