The word "generous" appears four times
in these six verses. In English the word means "tobe liberal in giving or sharing;
magnanimous." In the original Greek it literally meant"openhearted."
Giving
generously means giving personally, thoughtfully, passionately, and
cheerfully.
Notice
that God promises to provide what we need, not what society tells us we must
have.
When
you place money, time, or talent in God's hands, it always bears fruit. When you
aregenerous,
God is praised. The more generous you are, the more he is praised—that's the law of
the harvest.
