We never really stop asking that question from our childhood: "Why do I have to share?" We know that's what we're told to do, but we often wish we didn't have to. After all, that is our default attitude. And so, this is where the need for generosity comes in – as an attitude, not just an action. We need a heart and mind change in order to become generous people. And that can only happen through the gospel – through the example and liberation of Jesus – who gives up everything, so we aren't left with nothing. And with everything he gives us, he frees us to give to others.
