Generosity

Our God is a generous God:

32 God did not keep back his own Son, but he gave him for us. If God did this, won’t he freely give us everything else?

Romans 8:32 (CEV)

Generosity means giving something away even when it hurts. That’s what Jesus did, and we should too!

This lesson is based on material from: http://www.pursuegodkids.org/generosity/ .
