As he defines it, helping others.

Those who elbow their way to the top often fall flat.

Instead, Grant argues the people who offer a helping hand to their peers without expecting anything in return become successful.

Measuring success by financial wealth is as useless as building a one-legged chair.

Measuring generosity by monetary giving is the same fallacy.

With God as our sustainer, every aspect of our lives, not just money, can be used to serve others.

And even the least of us are qualified to practice generosity.

Giving is not monetary.

Contemplating whether you have enough to help others misses a beautiful opportunity to love as God demonstrated.

Perhaps one of Jesus' most famous statements is that God gave his one and only son for us.

John 3, 16.

God blesses us so that we will be able to bless others.

Genesis 12, 2.

And there are countless ways to bless others as Jesus describes.

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.

I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.

I was a stranger and you invited me in.

I needed clothes and you clothed me.

I was sick and you looked after me.

I was in prison and you came to visit me.
