Generosity vs Stinginess
that is what this morning’s proverb is all about:

One person gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

I think it is the spirit of giving or withholding that leads to a life of abundance or a minimalistic life. Would you agree?

You can only give generously if you have care and compassion, and you know what it is like do without and then to receive what you need, often undeservingly from others, from God, from drawing the right circumstances and people towards yourself because of your good heart.

You can only give generously when you believe you have, or will have, enough, and that God, the Universe, others, will support you, and when you know how to take good care of yourself.

Withholding comes from fear not love.
