Graham Walker, former CEO of Fibrebond, refused to sell his company unless the buyers gave 15% of the proceeds to his employees. Due to Walker’s generosity, the average employee received over $440,000.
Mr. Walker had no obligation to bless his employees in this way, yet he did.
Writing about the rich, Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 6:18, “They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.”
The mindset of most owners is that they took the risks, therefore, only they deserve the reward. Generosity like Graham Walker’s, however rare, is not forgotten by God.
