The Blessing of Giving
“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
Acts 20:35 (KJV) |
What This Means for You
Paul reminded the church of something Jesus said that didn't make it into the Gospels: giving is better than getting. Not because receiving is bad, but because something shifts inside you when you live with open hands. Generosity changes the giver even more than the receiver.
Try This Today
Pick one small, generous act before bedtime: leave a bigger tip than usual, drop off a bag of groceries for a neighbor, or Venmo a friend $5 for coffee with a note that says 'thinking of you.'
