Generosity is both a means by which we grow and a marker of our growth. In Matthew 6:21 Jesus said: “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” This means that when we give it not only demonstrates what we love but also that it grows our love for what we are giving to. Ultimately generosity, whether with our money, our time, or even our forgiveness, is rooted in two things: 1. Our faith in God’s willingness and ability to provide. 2. Our awareness of what we have already received from Him.
