Jesus displayed Radical Generosity everyday. The ultimate display of generosity was when
he laid down his life for us.
Every day, God is calling us to radical generosity. We should look at life like a generosity
contest. We should be generous with our
praise, with our compassion, with our patience, with our appreciation,
God’s calling me to be generous in everything I do.
Today, I need to be more generous with my time, with my patience and with
my appreciation, especially with my children.
Tonight, I will give of my time to my kids. Instead of doing what I want to do, I will give my time to them first. I will be generous with my patience. Instead of getting annoyed or irritated when they are vying for my attention or picking on each other, I will remain patient. I will express my appreciation for what they have accomplished today. Whether it be completing their homework, helping a sibling or simply that they are being kind, I will be generous in my appreciation and my praise of them.
Jesus, liberate me for any inclination to be stingy.
Amen.
