limitless generosity

i LOVE that phrase - "limitless generosity". i think it's beautiful. i just read it from Brennan Manning. not sure if he coined it or got it from somebody else? don't care... it's mine now and it's how i want to live.

when i read the proverbs it feels like "limitless generosity". it feels like that's what we're called to + it's just that generosity is limitlessly talked about!

just 2 days ago i wrote some thoughts on "backwards" or "opposite" generosity in Proverbs. you can read that HERE and now today i'm struck with this from Proverbs 14.

"Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God." (14:31)

just another blunt reminder in proverbs.

what would it even mean if i could live with limitless generosity?
