Matthew 23: 11-12 ~ The greatest among you will be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. Jesus has much to teach us about generosity. He teaches that the most esteemed men and women are not the self-congratulatory leaders of society but are, instead, the humblest of servants. If you were being graded on generosity, how would you score? Would you earn As in philanthropy and humility? Hopefully so. But if your grades could stand a little improvement, this is the perfect day to begin. Today, you may feel the urge to hoard your blessings. Dont do it. Instead, give generously to your neighbors, and do so without fanfare. Find a need and fill it...humbly. Lend a helping hand and share a word of kindness...anonymously. This is Gods way. Would you like to be a little happier? Try sharing a few more of the blessings that God has bestowed upon you. In other words, if you want to be happy, be generous. And if you want to be unhappy, be greedy.
