Generous giving

 

Why all the focus on the giving of gifts at Christmas? Well, I
will be the first one to say that things have gotten a bit out
of hand for sure!

However, the main thing to remember on this topic is that the
example of the Father is giving!

John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and
only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have
eternal life.

The greatest gift to mankind came from the greatest Giver. The
Heavenly Father showed us what it meant to be extremely generous
by sending His Son into a world that for the most part rejected
Him then, and continues to reject Him now.

I would say the opposite of being generous is being stingy –
The Heavenly Father could hardly be accused of being stingy

when He gave His only Son to this world.
