Mercy Sunday
Dear Friends in Christ Jesus;
How we give is as important as what we give. Generosity is the act of being kind, selfless, and giving to others. Despite being an act that is done to benefit others’ well-being, generosity also paradoxically increases our well-being. So being generous is a fantastic way to improve our mental health and well-being. Generosity is not limited to money. It is especially not lim-ited to our excess money. Our generosity does not begin in our abundance. It begins in our faithfulness and love to God and the love of others. We need not have to wait until we have plenty to begin to be generous to others. Lots of scripture relates to generosity and caring for others. In fact, as a believer I do not think that we can separate them. We cannot separate gen-erosity from caring. We cannot separate a com-passionate heart and our resources. Much more, True generosity is often descr ibed as the act of recognizing the mutual dignity based on jus-tice and compassion. So dear friends, let us be generous in giving our time, latent and resource to the others with human dignity. May God bless us with generous hearts. Amen
