SUMMER OF GENEROSITY: Leading Generously. While generosity is often framed in financial terms, God has shown the world a generous character that reaches far beyond financial provision. All of us, rich and poor alike, can reflect godly generosity in our own self-giving. We cannot all write large checks to missionaries or nonprofits serving the least of these, but we can all give ourselves to serve one another, and inspire others to do the same. We cannot all bequeath large sums of money to our children, but we can all pass on a (far more valuable) godly attitude toward money and a godly example of living, loving and leading generously.
