Humble generosity

"What do you have that you haven't received? And if you've received it, why do you boast as if it were yours alone?" 1 Corinthians 4:7

All our gift are from God, why not give it back to Him by doing small or big acts of generosity for him? Are we all not children of God? Do we all not have Christ in us? Then let us show God our love for him by loving others. Will this not in turn make us realize how small we really are and how much bigger God is?

Doing things to make us feel as if we are better than others or to be seen and praised is not what our minds should be thinking. Our minds should be thinking how can I give back to my Lord, who has given me all these beautiful gifts and talents?

"Jesus' whole life, his way of dealing with the poor, his actions, his integrity, his simple daily acts of generosity, and finally his complete self-giving, is precious and reveals the mystery of his divine life." - Joy of the Gospel, Pope Francis
