What if your bank account said “empty,” but heaven's ledger said “overflowing”? That’s the paradox Jesus proclaimed to the persecuted Christians in the ancient city of Smyrna. In Revelation 2:9, He says, “I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich.” At first glance, this seems contradictory.

Generosity isn’t just about giving—it’s about having a heart like God’s. I had boxed generosity into neat categories—donating, tithing, and occasional good deeds. But God’s generosity isn’t structured—it’s extravagant, spontaneous, and unlimited.
