Generosity is not simply a matter of what we give, but of how we understand what we have received. Scripture reminds us that everything we possess is ultimately a gift from God, inviting us to respond with gratitude rather than self-interest. Mary's extravagant gift to Jesus challenges us to consider whether we value our possessions more than the opportunity to bless others. Christian generosity is a skill we can cultivate, through which we discover that it is indeed more blessed to give than to receive.
