(Acts 20:35 NKJV) “I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
I caught onto this early in my childhood life. I loved the way it made me feel to give!
I remember as a child, always wanting to give something to someone. Of course, as children we don’t have a job to make money so we would have to be creative. I would pick flowers from our yard and make little bouquets.
I remember at times taking one of my toys and wrapping it up and giving it away.
One time when I was in high school my best friend loved this one shirt I had, so one day I told her she could have it. The look on her face and the sound in her voice just left me feeling so happy inside.
Now that I am older, I enjoy giving people things even more than receiving. Don’t get me wrong, I love to get little surprises too! But there is something about giving that drives me to keep on doing it.
I’ve learned we don’t have to have a lot of money to give. There are so many other ways.
There are many times when we receive a reply to the Bible Verse of The Day, or letters in the mail that bless us so much just from the wonderful testimonies or things that you share with us. Often times it is just what we needed to help us get through our day!
Giving is a beautiful thing and oh so fulfilling! We should never stop giving. No matter how strapped we are, there is always something we can give.
