Giving

The Fourth Sunday of Advent

Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly... ~ Deuteronomy 15:10 (NLT)

Let your gentleness show in your treatment of all people. The Lord is near. ~ Philippians 4:5 (CEB)

KEY THOUGHT:
Outrageous generosity reflects the Lord's presence in our lives.
PRAYER:
Thank you, God, for being so generous with us. You gave us your only Son so that we might experience life. Forgive me for being stingy. I worry that people will take undue advantage of my generosity. That turns me into a Scrooge some of the time. Save me from being overly-concerned about what others do or don't do. I can see now that we're all taking undue advantage of your generosity. Amen.
