A Disposition of Generosity

Generosity means a disposition to give to others in a way which has no mercenary motive and is not limited by what the recipients deserve but consistently goes beyond it. Generosity expresses the simple wish that others should have what they need to make them happy. Generosity is, so to speak, the focal point of God’s moral perfection; it is the quality which determines how all God’s other excellences are to be displayed.
–J. I. Packer

Thank you, God, for your generosity toward me.
Help me to be generous to others – with my words, with my resources, with my actions, and with my thoughts.
Help me to generously desire for others to be happy and to have joy at their successes.
Help me to be like You.
