Generosidade
A generosidade é marca do caráter de Deus e vocação do cristão. Deus ama ao que dá com alegria. Quem semeia generosamente, generosamente colherá.
Dar com alegria
Deus ama ao que dá com alegria. Cada um contribua segundo propôs no coração — não com tristeza ou por necessidade.
Partilhar e abençoar
Quem dá aos pobres empresta ao Senhor. A generosidade abre portas de bênção sobre quem dá e sobre quem recebe.
Every sincere soul is blessed:
But a passionate man is not graceful.
There are some who scatter their own, and make it more:
And there are some also who gather, yet have less.
Every sincere soul is blessed:
But a passionate man is not graceful.
Honor the Lord with thy just labors,
And give him the first of thy fruits of righteousness:
That thy storehouses may be completely filled with corn,
And that thy presses may burst forth with wine.
Forbear not to do good to the poor,
Whensoever thy hand may have power to help him.
He that stops his ears from hearing the poor,
Himself also shall cry, and there shall be none to hear him.
The year is completed, and ye have brought all the produce into the storehouses; but there shall be the plunder thereof in its house: return now on this behalf, saith the Lord Almighty, see if I will not open to you the torrents of heaven, and pour out my blessing upon you, until ye are satisfied.
For the poor shall not fail off thy land, therefore I charge thee to do this thing, saying, Thou shalt surely open thy hands to thy poor brother, and to him that is distressed upon thy land.
O ensino de Jesus
Dai e dar-se-vos-á. A quem te pedir, dá. O que fizestes a um destes mais pequeninos, a mim o fizestes.
Generosidade de Deus
Se Deus dá sabedoria generosamente a quem pede, quanto mais nos dará Ele forças e suprimento em toda necessidade?
He gives strength to the hungry, and sorrow to them that are not suffering.
Who is as the Lord our God?
Who dwells in the high places,
