Hollywood Prayer Network On Generosity

DAY 3 OF 7

GIVE WHAT YOU HAVE TO OTHERS

"We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give. "Winston Churchill

""The only investment I ever made which has paid consistently increasing dividends is the money I have given to the Lord."   James L. Kraft

PRAY:   Dear Jesus, would You soften my heart toward the poor and the needy? Would you show me the widows and orphans in my life whom I haven't noticed or haven't gone out of my way to help and to pray for? Would you show me how I can share my food with others and be more generous even to my own family. I know Your love is in me, so help me to have pity on the needy people around me and to do something about it. Amen
REFLECT:  We often think of the word pity as a negative word. To have pity on someone sounds demeaning. And yet in God's language, pity is sympathy and compassion. We need to show more godly pity on all the needy people around us - both our familial brothers and sisters and our Christian brothers and sisters, no matter who they are. We want to show the love of God to all people and that starts with a generous heart.
ACT:  Choose one person you're worried about or you feel pity for. Reach out to that person today with a generous gift, or offer them resources, time, love and, your prayers. Make a Christ-like random act of kindness toward someone in need today by sharing a meal or anything that you have and they don't have. You'll see how rich you really are and how easy it is to generously bless others.

About this Plan

Hollywood Prayer Network On Generosity

One dictionary defines Generosity as “the quality of being kind and generous.” That means that being generous can mean giving money and food to the poor and needy, but it can also mean being kind and generous of spirit. This week we’ll look into different ways of being generous and the rewards that God gives us when we have generous hearts. Let’s become Christ-like with generosity!
