Generous Heart, Generous Life

July 1, 2020 Johnna 4 Comments

Giving gives back life. Refusing to give withholds life. I know this spiritual truth. Why do I hesitate to give what I can when I know what I know?

God alone knows.

May God have mercy when I am stingy, and renew my heart and spirit. Only then, can I give.
