Every Square Inch - Finding God in Books, Shows, and Movies: Sowing Generously

True generosity is not about giving from abundance or obligation. It flows from love, grace, and a deep awareness of what has been freely given to us. Through stories like Leo, a man wrongly institutionalized who became a joyful giver, and Ellen, a homeless woman turned away at a church door, we see what it looks like when people choose to truly see others. Jesus set the standard with the widow who gave everything she had, and ultimately with the cross itself. Giving is not transactional. The heart behind the gift matters far more than the amount. When we give out of love rather than duty, we often find that we receive far more than we offered.
