Topic: Attitude
While they were being severely tested by suffering, their overflowing joy, along with their extreme poverty, has made them even more generous. I assure you that by their own free will they have given all they could, even more than they could afford. 11 Corinthians 8:2-3 GW
We live in a culture of entitlement. If I don't have, it is someone's fault and someone should pay, thus we have lawsuits and increasingly burdensome government programs. But this self-centeredness leads only to more dissatisfaction and unhappiness.
Happiness doesn't emanate from selfishness, but from generosity. We find joy and blessing as we give with grateful hearts.
Give, and you will receive. A large quantity, pressed together, shaken down, and running over will be put into your pocket. The standards you use for others will be applied to you. Luke 6:38 GW
