Generosity begins when you do more than you are asked to do, not because you have more than others have, but because you seek to add value to the lives of others.
The thought behind the quote
From my 1828 Webster’s Dictionary, GENEROSITY is: • a disposition to give liberally or bestow favor; • a quality of heart and mind that opposes meanness; • nobleness of soul; • magnanimity of spirit
"When we are GENEROUS, we are the most like God." @leadershipology
Read the full thought
““This is how much God loved the world: HE GAVE...his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.” John 3:16-18 MSG
