NOTHING TO GIVE?

Some things only come to us when we give them to others. Generosity is a virtue highly valued by man & God. We sometimes think that if we were rich, we too could afford to be generous. Generosity is a frame of mind and a point of character that we all need. Being rich is not a prerequisite to being generous. Learning to give and care for people is a habit we all need to develop. Why can we give in abundance when we have no money? The most valuable things of all come from a well that has no limit and never runs dry. Those things include courtesy, kindness, counsel, respect and love. These things cost us nothing. When we are generous with these gifts that cost us nothing, the rewards are greatest. Proverbs 28:27 carries a promise from God that the giver will not lack. Be a wise and cheerful giver!
