Gracious creator, who has given great gifts to many, keep us from miserliness and from hoarding our riches, that we would be generous as you are, giving without expecting return and delighting in what good we may do for others, through Jesus our example, who gave everything that we might live and now lives with you and the Holy Spirit in perfect joy forever. Amen.
‘If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive payment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again.’ – Luke 6:34
