The Acts 20: 35
I have shown you all things, how that so laboring 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."
We have heard these word so often that they slip off the tongue like water, "it is more blessed to give then to receive." Yet these words are so profound that GOD holds them in honor. Do we hold them in honor?
The Apostle Paul did and instructed his followers to support the weak and to remember that it is "more blessed to give than to receive".
Read Isaiah 58, the last words are these: "for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it." This is a dissertation on fasting, but we find in it that the LORD is blessed and blesses those who give, reach out and heal. The LORD gives to those who give. I have heard it said many times: "I receive so much more when I give to others; I am blessed beyond anything I could imagine."
What we are really giving to others is what GOD has given through us to them. We are instruments of His provision. From His riches in glory, He has blessed, so that we can bless in his Name. Our giving is really GOD'S hand giving out His love. What a privilege we have to serve GOD in such an awesome way!!!
BELOVED, IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE
