May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

From An Invitation to a Whole-Life Journey of Abundant Generosity, p. 14

God’s generosity is always about maximums, never minimums. God’s abundant generosity comes from fullness, not incompleteness. Generosity is all about an overflowing gift. Generosity always enriches, multiplies, and expands our lives. It makes us more than we were and gives more than we ever thought we could. It adds to our lives; it never subtracts.

Because abundant generosity is the very spirit of Jesus, it always gives birth to joy, hope, love, and peace. Generosity is the power and life of God made manifest by us. The power of generosity transforms all those willing to receive and give it.

Reflection Question

How have you experienced God’s generosity as one that overflows and fills you?

Prayer Phrase

“You will be enriched in every way for your great generosity” (2 Corinthians 9:11).

Generosity in Action

Each day record in a journal a specific act of generosity—both given and received. After each entry, reflect: What does this reveal about God’s character and my own call to generosity? End each journaling session with a prayer: “Generous God, help me live with open hands, open heart, and open spirit.”
