Everything Through Him

Generosity and Kindness

"A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed."

- Proverbs 11:25

Generosity is the act of freely giving what we have to share it with other people. Helping others by sharing our blessings to them is a good deed that glorifies God.

For what shall a man profit to gain the whole world, as he is full of greed and the pleasures of sin, if he has a heart of stone that wouldn't please God?

Giving what we have, no matter how big or small it is, acts a way of caring for other people who are in need.

Let's think of it this way, we are blessed to have everything we have. Know that we are nothing without God.

God sustains our life and He is the one who gives us what we all have.

I'm grateful, thankful, and blessed for everything that God blessed me.

As a way of appreciation, let us not devour ourselves with greed and selfishness for these are bad deeds that satisfy the flesh, not in God.

In John 6:1-14 , Jesus made a miracle and gave food to feed over 5,000 people. He is generous to sustain the appetite of others, and blessed them with foods to eat.

Jesus Christ is the giver of life, He sustains our lives by giving us our necessities and blessed us with gifts that can truly help us to live.

Let us give thanks to God Father and Jesus Christ for all of the blessings they have given us and for giving us our needs. Also, for the Holy Spirit to move in miraculous ways to help us in all possible ways.

We are all blessed, grateful, and thankful for everything we have that God has given us.

We are lucky that we got to wake up everyday, eat three meals in a day, we can walk with our feet, we can write with our hands, we got to see our family or friends, the knowledge we have, the wisdom we acquired, the understanding we obtained, our good health, healthy relationship, financial management and even to our performance in our school or work all made possible because of God.

God is so generous, He always gives us what we all need. He continues to bless us everyday and we must be thankful for that.

You see, the act of being generous to other people is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit - one of the many deeds that the Holy Spirit gifted us Christians with.

"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

- Ephesians 4:32

Kindness is an act of being good and to be morally righteous by showing compassion, as well as helping people in a form of generosity like loving and caring for them without expecting anything in return but does so for good will.

Being kind is not a weakness nor a sign of fragility, rather an act of selflessness by caring for others, as well as being morally good is considered a good deed. It is an act of doing good with others by helping, comforting, appreciating, caring, loving, and by being generous for them.

Being kindness is a weapon that fights cruelty, like how good overcomes evil, and how the light wins over darkness.

Let us spread peace over hatred, love over animosity, generosity over greed, joy over sadness, gratefulness over regret, happiness over anxiety, hope over despair, faith over mistrust, and empathy over cruelty.

Let us be kind to our family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, classmates, community, school, or even at work.

As a Christian, you respect other people regardless of who they are or what their beliefs are, you help other people without expecting anything in return, you even love your enemies or the people who won't like you, you are generous to give what you have to the needy, and you are kind to everyone.

Love like Jesus.
Care like Jesus.
Give like Jesus.
Help like Jesus.
Live like Jesus.

Jesus is full of goodness because He is the light Himself. He is righteous and He is the one and only Savior we all need.

Jesus cures the sick, He heals the broken-hearted, He forgives the sinners, He helps the needy and He restores faith to the weary.

Let us all follow the light, which is in Jesus Christ and allow ourselves to be like Him - loving, caring, compassionate, kind, selfless, generous, and merciful.

Think like Jesus.
Feel like Jesus.
Act like Jesus.

Let us live according to God's will, in a way that other people see Him in us because we are children of God.
