A Blessing in Giving
Scripture reminds us that God loves a cheerful giver, and when we release what He has entrusted to us, we open ourselves to His abundant blessings. The blessing is not always financial; often it’s the deep joy, peace, and freedom that come from trusting God more fully.
Acts 20:35 (NIV)
“In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
Prayer:
Lord, I know that everything I have is a blessing and gift from You. Show me how I can receive a new kind of blessing as I give generously.
