A Quote for the Day

The poor exist to give you the genuine chance to be truly generous.

Charity is about giving a part of what you work for to those who need the most. It is not about demanding that everyone must eat only what resulted from their work. 

Busyness on things that matters most, and on activities that encourage others to be compassionate as well as generous to others, means more than the busyness that shows nothing other than the self and all the glories it wanted to claim before the all peoples. Busyness is a virtue when it virtuously uses the limited time that belongs to each day, and glories the Creator instead of the created.  

We learn to love because we've been loved first. In the same way, we give because we have already received so much.

Generosity is measured not with what portion of the excess that you give, but with how much of what you need that you let go for others.

If God gives, accept. If He takes, let go. No fuss. No rolling on the floor crying and kicking. There is nothing in this world worth more than following His Will.

God's generosity and glory are most profound in the sight of people who have developed their natural gifts and talents to the utmost. Only a beautiful God can create such beautiful people with beautiful gifts, distinct yet awesome even in that distinctness.
