Generosity is an openhandedness, unselfishness, or liberality of life. Christ’s followers are consistently called to generosity. This generous existence is to be lived in response to and rooted in God’s own self-giving in the person of Jesus who “though he was rich, yet for our sake became poor, so that by his poverty we might become rich.” Our prayer is that the Lord will not only create a greater desire in us to meet needs out of our abundance but that such desire would actually lead us “to be rich in good works, to be generous, and ready to share” so that our God would be glorified in our great city and in this world.
