Keith Craft: When you are Generous, you are the most like God.
When you are Generous, you are the most like God.
The thought behind the quote
"One of the definitions of Generosity is a spirit of freedom to give liberally. The Bible says, ""For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."" (John 3:16)
One of the hallmarks of generosity is love. When you are generous, you love God back the way He loves you. Through generosity you love others the way God loves them. Generosity if fully expressed when you give your best. That is what God did when He gave His only Son.
Being a generous person is not about possessing certain personality characteristics or having more than others have. It is about giving the best you have out of a heart of love. Be Generous today with your time, talent and treasure and discover what it is to be God-like."

- Poverty is a mentality. A mentality of lack...a mentality of 'I don't have enough'...a mentality of 'get all you can and sit in the can!' It is a mindset and has nothing to do with the amount of money you have or don't have...but it has everything to do with what you do with what you have! Bottom line...it is man's REALITY! Generosity is also a mentality! Rather than lack, it's an ABUNDANCE mentality!!! Rather than I don't have enough, it's an ‘I have MORE THAN ENOUGH' mentality! Rather than get all you can for yourself, it's a mentality that says ‘I'm going to get all I can, so I can give all I can to help others know by my example that THEY CAN do all things through Christ who is their strength!!!'
