Matthew 5
God calls on us to be generous as I have posted here and here. Generosity of course is the antithesis to selfishness. I am too often selfish - with my time, treasure, talents, etc.
As I have posted, I should give freely and joyfully to please God...who does not want to please God?
My Prayer: Lord, You are truly amazing in how You give and bless. You created the heavens and earth and everything in between - and placed us on earth so that we could enjoy the fruits of Your labor. You also heal, provide, protect, provide rest, and are full of gentleness, mercy, compassion, etc. I can go on and on and on...and still not praise You sufficiently. You don't even need me yet You love me and You died for me. I am not worthy of Your love and blessings. Thank You Jesus even though I sin. I am selfish. Please forgive me. Help me be more like You - help me give freely and joyfully to all who need.
Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. v42
