And how special it is to know that generosity is a gift to us from the first and ultimate giver, God. From the very beginning He has unfolded His sovereign plan of creation, love, grace, and salvation as an expression of His abundant generosity. He invites each one of us to participate in this with Him as He continues to move through history. Inside the soul of every Christian is a God-inspired desire for the generous life, for a life tailored around His example of selflessness and sacrifice. We are all on a spiritual journey, and we are all on a giving journey. Both are filled with growth and movement. We encounter times of expansion. We transition away from the old to the new. We move forward in our generosity, learning to give more and give more sacrificially.
