Generosity rarely begins as instinct. Instead, it begins as a quiet, inward struggle, a gentle tension between holding on and learning to let go. Beneath the tension often lies a deeper poverty—not of resources, but of spirit—a heart that has learned to guard itself, unsure if there will be enough.…
