Be Generous and Blessed

“Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.” (Deut. 15:10)

The Generous Recycler

An auto recycler once shared how he built his reputation not just on good parts but on good will. When customers came looking for something small—a bolt, clip, or hose—he’d often say, “Just take it, no charge.”

Years later, that same generosity kept paying dividends. People remembered him. They sent their friends, referred their body shops, and returned again and again. His giving spirit became the best marketing tool he ever had.

Generosity always multiplies

What you give out of kindness and faith never leaves your life—it simply returns in a different form, pressed down, shaken together, and running over!

“Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.” (Luke 6:38)

The Principle of Scattering

“There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more, and there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in want. The generous man will be prosperous, and he who waters will himself be watered.” (Proverbs 11:24–25)

The one who “scatters” increases all the more

That means when you sow generously—your time, your money, your wisdom, your help—God multiplies what you gave away. When you withhold, you actually shrink your own capacity to receive.

It’s not about giving to get

It’s about giving because God gave first. He promises to refill every giver’s hand so they can keep blessing others.

What to do

1. Give freely. When you see a need, meet it. Bless someone without expecting anything in return.

2. Give cheerfully. God loves a giver who gives with joy, not obligation.

3. Give from the heart. Give in proportion to how God has blessed you. (Deut. 16:17)

4. Give continually. Make generosity part of your business culture—something your employees, vendors, and customers recognize as who you are.

Therefore

Generosity is one of the greatest ways to reflect God’s heart in your business and life. When you give freely, you open the door for God to bless you abundantly—in relationships, in opportunity, and even in resources.

So, keep scattering good seed! Whether it’s a kind word, a fair deal, or a helping hand, every act of generosity plants something eternal that will come back to you multiplied.

“The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.” (Proverbs 22:9)
