We seem to
remember about starving children around the world only when our bellies are
full. “Recent studies show that we
find it easier to turn our eyes to those who are less fortunate when we have
enjoyed some abundance ourselves. As Christians, we are designed to both enjoy
and share God’s good creation with gratitude and compassion.” People
become more generous towards those in need, once they have experienced
satisfaction. Jesus taught us not to be gluttony but to live in generosity; and
our generosity does not begin because we are full and does not stop just by a
piece of pie. We must live daily in the sense of generosity.
The author if this article, Rob Moll, has the intention to inform.
The essay has the writing and format of a story, however, at the end the author
transmits a message: that humans especially Christians should be generous
daily. That is something taught by Jesus. His tone is persuasive; he wants to
make people think especially because it is near Thanksgiving break. His
audience is Christians around the world. Throughout his piece he does not want to
seem to harsh and demanding; Moll is just trying to send out a message for
people to be more generous and thankful for what they have.
