Generosity
No one has ever become poor by giving. (Anne Frank, Jewish diarist)
What a startling observation from a young girl who, with her family, had to hide from an enemy who wanted to kill all her ethnic group. Not only were they dependent upon others for their well-being, but they also took in others, giving them a place of refuge, too. It’s a great example for us who should not think we’re losing anything by giving willingly and generously to others.
Since you excel in so many ways—in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, . . . I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving. (2 Corinthians 8:7)
