Generosity

Dear Lord please be with us this day, guide us and protect us and may we not be led into evil because of selfish and lustful desires and coveting. May the Holy Spirit be our pilot in thought as we move among those in need. Help us to show generosity toward all of Your children no matter what station in life they hold. May we recognize needs other than material such as times of loving companionship, and encouragement through grief and loneliness. May our generosity include giving of ourselves as servants no matter the inconvenience or the discomfort of compliance. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV
Lu 10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
Lu 10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Lu 10:35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

Quotation: He, who is not liberal with what he has, does but deceive himself when he thinks he would be liberal if he had more. -Tulner
