Generosity

I long for my thoughts and actions to change

To give more freely

Love more deeply

See more clearly

To give of myself with no thought of return

I see the person I would like to be

Gracefully gentle

Selflessly generous

Utterly service oriented

But I'm not always sure how to get there

I see in Your perfect example

A generosity of spirit

A humility profoundly moving

A love unconditional

And I yearn with all my heart to be more like You

Day by day I strive with all my heart

To align myself more with Your example

To live more completely by Your guidance

To accept more radiantly Your will

And to never stop longing to draw closer to You

"O Children of Dust! Tell the rich of the midnight sighing of the poor, lest heedlessness lead them into the path of destruction, and deprive them of the Tree of Wealth. To give and to be generous are attributes of Mine; well is it with him that adorneth himself with My virtues." Baha'u'llah (The Hidden Words)
