"For God loved the world so that He gave..." already says a lot about God before we even get to the part about giving His one and only Son into death in order that we might live eternally. God is generous and a generous giver by nature. Why? Because He loves us. Generosity in prayer, good works, and offerings is about love or it's about nothing at all.

10-13-2013_Generosity In Mercy
Generosity is giving for the sake of giving, above and beyond the call of duty, without expectation of reward or recognition.
In Eph. 2:10, Paul reminds us that good works are prepared beforehand by God for us to walk in them. They are His works done through us and are part of the Christian's generous living. This is modeled in Christ whose cross is the greatest good work of all, far surpassing anything and everything we do in this life.

Prayer isn't our thing we do for God nearly so much as one of the gifts of God which teaches us far more than we can even begin to imagine.
