Have you considered the generosity of God yourself?

I recently saw the Academy Award-winning short film The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. I was struck by Roald Dahl's story that was actually a fable of generosity.

Life so many of Dahl's writings, it gets the audience there by less-than-conventional means by having the protagonist gain his wealth through cheating at gambling. Still, this film does cause one to think about being generous.

Generosity can be defined by readiness in giving.

Selfless actions usually involve someone giving away money or other valuable items. It may be no surprise that the Bible has quite a bit to say about this trait.

The God of the Bible is generous and expects those who follow him to do the same.

Not that you need to be a follower of God to be generous, but for those who claim to be Christians, this is meant to be emulated throughout our lives; especially since God's generosity goes beyond financial gain, as His greatest gift came through the sacrifice of His son, Jesus to stone for the world's sins.

It can be said that this gift to sinful mankind was the ultimate act of generosity.

Have you considered the generosity of God yourself?
