Have
you had your Joy Juice today? Generously
share some with others!
We’ve
talked a lot about choices this week….choosing to practice joy in the midst of
trying circumstances, choosing to allow God to cleanse our heart, choosing an
attitude like Jesus, choosing to make each day count for Him.
Today
let’s talk about choosing to be generous…and I’m not just talking about
financially! True generosity isn’t a function of income—it begins with the heart. It’s about serving others and looking for
ways to add value to them. That’s the
way to achieve significance in your life. (John Maxwell in Making Today
Count) Being generous with what God has blessed us with….leads to abundant joy!
Matthew
6:21 tells us: “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Where is your treasure? Is it in your bank account, your material
possessions, or is it in your relationship with God? He tells us that we are to love Him with our
whole heart and that we are to love OTHERS as ourselves! That means helping
them, giving to them when they need help.
Andrew
Carnegie was one of the wealthiest men in history. He earned most of his
fortune in the steel industry but he didn’t keep his money for
himself. Carnegie gave away most of it to establish many libraries, schools, and universities. He is quoted to have said: “No man becomes
rich unless he enriches others.” Remember that a selfish life is not a joyful
life!
Choose to be generous and share
the love of Christ and the joy of the Lord with others!
