What does it look like to be generous? Is it time, money, love?

I would challenge us all that generosity is an act of selflessness whether or not it is being generous with our money, time or love.  When we think of the word generosity, most of the time the first thing we think about is being generous with our money.  Which is true that we are being generous when we give financially, but we are also choosing to be selfless by giving to someone or a vision that is outside of ourself.  By giving financially we are investing in something outside of ourself and are leaving behind a legacy. 

But what about when we choose to give our time?  We all know there are only 24 hours in a day and every one of them can be filled.  When we choose to stop to listen, spend time with someone, or serve in a capacity to help others we are giving what valuable time we have.  This too is a selfless act of generosity that leaves a legacy!

When I think about being generous with our love though, I think about the 5 love languages and how someone gives or receives love.  I find it interesting to know that two of those five love languages are given through the generosity of our Time or Gifts.  I don't know about you, but every time someone is generous to me with their money, time or love it always makes me feel loved.  But that feeling is even greater in myself when I give of my money, time or love to others!  I think this is the very reason why God teaches us that it is greater to give than it is to receive.  Because each time we choose to be generous we become closer to our heavenly father by giving the love He gave to us first, to others.  The selfless act of generosity leaves a legacy of God's love!

I pray you experience God's generous love today!
