Bits of the Gospel

Generous is the person who gives less importance to what he possesses and more importance to persons. A generous person evokes feelings of tenderness, gentleness, concern, and security. Generosity is the capacity to give without expecting reciprocation. It is the readiness to give resources, sentiments, and oneself because one feels responsible for everything, and part of everything. A friend of mine says, "Let me be won over by charity. Let generosity rule over me." And by so saying, she goes ahead to give without measure. I think that the generous person has been won over by the love of Christ, which thereby becomes the operating force from within. [2 Cor 5:14]. Reflect.
