Matthew 6:19-24
19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
REFLECT
Let us focus on verse 22 which talks about the eye being good or healthy then your whole body is full of light. The original text means if the eye is generous then the whole body will be lit up. The eye is our outlook in life, our whole way of looking at things. So, when our eye is generous then our whole personality is illuminated(lit up).
Jesus is our example in everything. He was generous with his time and efforts towards everyone and because of that His whole personality was full of light.
In John 6 there's a little boy who's eye was generous enough to share his tiffin box containing bread and fish and 5000 people benefitted. The boy could have kept his food hidden but his generosity led to the crowds witnessing one of the most sensational miracles that Jesus initiated.
ACT
Be generous with someone today and feel the light of Jesus invading you.
