Deep dives
Rethinking Generosity Through Joy
Generosity is often viewed as a source of anxiety, but it can be reframed as a joyful act. The teaching emphasizes that true generosity should stem from a place of happiness rather than obligation or coercion. For example, the Macedonian churches, despite their poverty, exemplified rich generosity motivated by joy, even pleading for the opportunity to give. This challenges the conventional belief where giving is perceived as a loss, instead illuminating that giving can lead to greater fulfillment and happiness.
