How many hours and energy have you put into making Valentine's Day special for your love? What if you could have a day where generosity makes a difference in a life outside of your family or friends? One company is determined to look outside themselves and touch lives. Here's their take on "Generosity Day":
We are reminded in the Proverbs by Solomon:
Will you hold on or will you choose to give freely? When it comes to Man vs. Money, may man win every time!

(One) investment firm (The Acumen Fund) has redefined the process of giving back and today they're encouraging the world to do so on Valentines Day. They've dubbed the romantic day "Generosity Day" and are attempting to get people to give up on the expensive gifts and flowers. Instead, they are asking people to embrace the idea of giving back. The concept is to spend the day doing small acts of kindness in a pay-it-forward structure. Suggestions include leaving a larger than average tip, giving a colleague a ride to work, or just being extra nice to people. Little things that they hope will make a difference. Many had taken to sites like Twitter to share their support of the day. Happy #GenerosityDay! Join others who are doing outrageously generous thing," Kevin Kruse wrote on Twitter.Generosity is what our Lord has always been about. We read in the Bible an incredible word form the lips of Jesus,
It is better to give than to receive. Acts 20:35That seems so backwards while nearly everyone is looking out for number one. People wanting to know what they can get out of someone or something. Even to the point of asking, "What's in it for me?" It would seem that the more you give, the less you would have. But God's economy is completely different.
We are reminded in the Proverbs by Solomon:
One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. Proverbs 11:24-25This is the principle, the more we give the more we prosper. It's not about what we have in the bag; it's what we can overflow from God's basket. If we give freely, we will "gain even more." That is basket living that makes generosity a way of life.
Will you hold on or will you choose to give freely? When it comes to Man vs. Money, may man win every time!

It is so easy to trust the physical....but God ask us to trust in Him, which at times can seem more difficult. I have found over many years of westling that I should give up and trust God first. Thanks for the article....trying hard to be a barn:)
ReplyDeleteWe are soooo...if I can see it, I'll believe it people. But seeing is not believing. Belief requires trust. I work on it everyday of my life. Trusting God, the Invisible for the unseeable. Thanks for sharing and your honesty.
