Ponder : The Gospel liberates us from selfishness by inspiring us to be generous. Check your collections.. see the numerous clothes, shoes, beverages, etc. When was the last time you even used some of those? What about the food items wasted? Total up the cost.. Charity can flow if these areas are checked.
Consider : Some give freely, yet grow all the richer; others withhold what is due, and only suffer want. A generous person will be enriched, and one who gives water will get water. Prov 11: 24-25. (Read 2Cor 9:11)
Answer : How is God inviting you to be more generous? With your time, talent, treasure (money) - *3-T*s; with your compassion, patience, praise, encouragement..??? Have you surprised or astonished people with your generosity?
Implore : O Jesus my Lord, liberate me from being extravagant and wasteful with your gift of money and from my inclinations to be stingy and uncharitable. Help me to give and forgive.
God wants to transform you AND the way you live your life! SURRENDER!
