Generosity of Heart
Scripture: Acts 4:32
“All the believers were one in heart and mind… they shared everything they had.”
Reflection:
The early church was marked by remarkable generosity. Their unity wasn’t just spiritual—it shaped practical action. They shared possessions, resources, and burdens. Generosity grew out of gratitude for God’s grace and a deep sense of belonging to one another.
True generosity is not measured by the size of the gift, but by the love and freedom with which it is given.
It was John Bunyan who said, “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.”
Illustration:
Picture a table where food is placed in the centre so everyone can take and share. No one guards their portion; everyone contributes. That’s the kind of life-giving community the early church embodied.
Thought / Question:
Where might God be inviting me to practice generosity today?
Prayer:
Lord, give me a generous heart that reflects Your kindness and compassion. Amen.
Action Step:
Look for one practical way to share—your time, resources, or encouragement—with someone today.
