The 12 Virtues of Christmas – Day 11: Generosity




Generosity — Love with Open Hands

Generosity has always been woven into Christmas.

The wise men brought their gifts — gold, frankincense, and myrrh — not out of obligation, but out of worship.

Because generosity isn’t about the size of the gift. It’s about the spirit behind it. It’s love in motion. It’s saying, “God has been good to me, and I want to mirror that goodness.”

When you give — your time, your compassion, your resources — you reflect the heart of the God who first gave everything.

Generosity changes atmospheres. It opens hearts, heals wounds, and reminds the world that kindness still exists.

So whether it’s helping a neighbor, forgiving someone who hurt you, or simply being present with someone who’s lonely — give freely.

Because when we give, we echo the heartbeat of heaven.

Reflection

How can you make generosity more than a moment this Christmas, and turn it into a lifestyle?
