Giving Before You Feel Ready
1 of 4
Acts 20:35 says: it is more blessed to give than to receive. 2 Corinthians 9:7 adds: God loves a cheerful giver. Together these texts describe generosity as both a practice and a posture. The posture is open-handedness — treating what you have as belonging to God first, and to your plans second. The practice is giving before you feel ready, before you have enough, before it is comfortable. Every generous person you have ever met built that generosity through practice. Not through suddenly having enough.
