God’s Will is always Generous (reflected in column #3 in the example-charts on pages 70-72).  The “True Path” is selfless and serving of others, while “sinful” action, on the other hand, is self-focused and strives to best serves one’s own interests.  Right Action gives while “wrong action” takes away.  God’s Will desires for us to create by furthering Love, rather than destroy by enhancing fear.  Indeed, when it gets right down to it, Divine Generosity is the cheerful giving (#1 below) of more than is expected (#2 below), in ways other than desired (#3 below), with no motivation for personal benefit (#4 below), for those judged “least deserving” (#5 below) (“When you have Done all that you should Do, say ‘We are servants and have Done only what ought to have been Done’” ~ Jesus in Luke 17:10) …

 

(#1) “Each of you must Give as you have made up your mind to Give, not reluctantly or under any compulsion, for God loves a cheerful Giver.” ~ 2 Corinthians 9:7

 

(#2) “Woe to you … for you tithe mint, dill and cumin, and yet have neglected the weightier matters of the Law:  Justice and Mercy and Faith.” ~ Jesus in Matthew 23:23

 

(#3) “If you have bitter envy or selfish ambitions in your hearts, do not be boastful and false to the Truth.  Such wisdom does not come from Above, but is earthly and unspiritual …” ~ James 3:14-15

(#5) “Love your enemies and Give expecting nothing in return.  Your reward will be great, and you will be Children of the Most High …” ~ Jesus in Luke 6:35-36
