Developing Your Eye For It

Some have an eye for design. Others have an eye for color.

Some have an eye for the big picture. Others have an eye for detail.

Some have an eye for bargains and deals. Others have an eye for luxury.

These traits can be tied to personality and are often detectable at a young age.

With some, it would be easy to assume they were born that way.

There is at least one trait, however, that no one is born with…

I’m talking about generosity.

It’s not a reflex. It’s counterintiutive.

Generosity is developed and nurtured—it starts small, and it grows.

The Bible talks about having a generous eye: “He who has a generous eye will be blessed.” (Proverbs 22.9 NKJV)

We’re not born looking for opportunities to share, give and be generous.

Just think about one of the first lessons we are taught as young children… sharing.

The generous eye isn’t a talent some have and others don’t because of their personality.

You develop your eye for it.

You start where you’re at—with the resources you have right now…

And you increase that generous quality in you.
