Acts 20:35
Acts 20:35
It is more blessed to give than to receive.
In giving, we find a sense of purpose and fulfillment that transcends mere personal gain. While receiving gifts or blessings brings happiness, giving from the heart provides a deeper sense of joy that aligns us with our spiritual calling. When we give, we connect with others in a way that brings mutual enrichment, as each act of kindness reflects a commitment to uplifting those around us. This principle reminds us that our true wealth lies not in accumulating, but in sharing and serving. By choosing to give freely, we not only help others but also nurture a heart of compassion within ourselves. This selfless approach transforms giving into a spiritual practice that echoes the divine love we are called to embody. Each gift, however small, is a powerful reminder that we are all connected, and that by serving one another, we fulfill our highest calling, discovering joy that no material possession can provide.

And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

Blessed is he that considereth the poor.
