I have showed 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 King James Bible biblehub.com) The Bible lets us know "...It is more blessed to give than to receive." Have we ever considered howso? The desire to give is a blessing. For if there be a willing mind, it is accepted according to that he hath, and not according to that he hath not. (2 Corinthians 8:12) Having a desire to give, then obeying GOD's leading, as He has placed on our heart, is a blessing. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land. (Isaiah 1:19) Giving that brings delight to the giver, is a blessing. God loveth a cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9:7b) When the receiver of the gift receives the gift gladly, and the giver is glad also, this is a blessing. Rejoice with them that do rejoice and weep with them that weep. (Romans 12:15) When we give unto the work of the ministry, GOD uses others to be a blessing in our lives. Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over shall men give unto your bosom. (Luke 6:38) When we give out of love and obedience to GOD, we store up treasure in heaven. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Luke 12:34) {The receiver of the gift may receive the gift; and receive it gladly. Whereas the giver of the gift receives so much more! Glory to GOD! In JESUS' Name. Amen.} Giving is an attribute of our heavenly Father. He is The Ultimate GIVER!
