It is better to Give than to receive.

 🕊️ Amen. 🕊️

You have spoken a profound and eternal truth—one that reflects the very heart of God and the way of His Kingdom. These words, spoken by the Apostle Paul, were a reminder from the Lord Jesus Himself:

“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.’”

— Acts 20:35

Why Is It Better to Give?

· It Reflects the Heart of God 💖

    God so loved the world He gave His only Son (John 3:16). Giving is at the core of His nature.

· It Breaks the Power of Selfishness 🕊️

    When we give—whether of our time, resources, love, or forgiveness—we are set free from the grip of greed and fear.

· It Releases Heaven’s Blessing 🌾

    God honors a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7). When we pour out, He pours into our lives in ways we can’t contain.

· It Multiples Joy 🎉

    True joy is found not in accumulating, but in sharing what God has entrusted to us.

A Prayer for a Generous Heart:

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being the greatest Giver.

You gave Your Son, Your Spirit, and every good and perfect gift.

Mold my heart to be like Yours.

Teach me to give—not out of duty, but out of delight.

Help me to love freely, serve willingly, and bless others abundantly, knowing that in giving, I truly receive.

Use my life as a channel of Your grace.

May I never hold tightly to what You’ve placed in my hands, but freely release it for Your glory.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

💫 Go and be a blessing today.

Whether through a kind word, a helping hand, a generous gift, or a forgiving heart—give as He gave to you.

You will find His joy waiting for you there.
