Thankfulness starts with a heart of generosity

2 Corinthians 9:6-8

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

2 Corinthians 9:11

You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

Heart of Generosity Principle #1

God doesn't bless us to raise our standard of living, God blesses us to raise our standard of giving. 

God loves a generous person

Hebrews 13:16

Don't forget to do good things for others and to share what you have with them. These are the kinds of sacrifices that please God.

“We are the hands and feet of Jesus”

--Mother Teresa

God loves when we use what He has given us to reach and bless others 

God created you to be generous

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

1 Timothy 6:17-19

In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. 

Generosity Principle #3

You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.

Generosity changes your world

Generosity Principle #4

What we do for ourselves will die with us, what we do for others lives beyond us
