It Is Better To Give Than To Receive

"... How that 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

It is a good thing to be blessed, but it is even better to be a blessing to others. Giving someone money is not the only way that we can bless them. As the saying goes, giving a hungry man some food is a blessing to him, but teaching him how to fish can bless him for the rest of his life.

Most of us place too much importance upon our words. We think that what we have to say is a blessing to those that hear it. While it is possible to bless someone by what we say, what we do for them is usually much more of a blessing than what we say to them. Our actions speak much louder than our words.

The Bible also says "Give, and it shall be given unto you..." Luke 6:38 If you want to receive more blessings, try giving more blessings to others. Be a blessing to someone and you will receive a blessing. All that you have received was not meant for you to keep for yourself, some of it was for you to share it with others.
