Do you show favor and generosity to those who will repay you in kind? What about those who do not have the means to repay you — the poor, the sick, and the disadvantaged? Generosity demands a measure of self-sacrifice. It doesn't impoverish, but rather enriches the soul of the giver.
True generosity springs from a heart full of mercy and compassion. God loved us first, and our love is a response of gratitude to his great mercy and kindness towards us. We cannot outgive God in his generosity towards us.
Do you give freely as Jesus gives without expectation for personal gain or reward?
WHEN YOU BLESS THOSE THAT CAN'T RETURN THE FAVOR, GOD WILL BLESS YOU.
Prayer:
"Lord, fill me with gratitude for your unboundless love and mercy towards me. And purify my love for others that I may seek their good rather than my own benefit or gain. Free me to love others as you love." - Fr. Hugh
