God Quote-The Blessing of Giving
JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the LORD says in Acts 20:35.
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
The Apostle Paul was quoting words from Jesus to encourage believers to help people who were in a place of need. The Gospel is about a Savior who came to rescue people who could not help themselves.
The love of Jesus moves us to be generous with our resources when we see someone in poverty. His love moves us to be generous with our time when we see someone who is lonely. His love moves us to be generous with words to build up someone who is discouraged. The Gospel trains us to look for ways to help other people with generous acts of kindness.
Acts 20:35-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for life.
