“Give”
By Dianne Prince
“God loves a cheerful giver.” — 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NKJV)
Giving is one of the ways we say thank you to God. We often think of giving as money or material things, especially during this season. But some of the greatest gifts we can give cost us nothing.
A kind word, a listening ear, a sincere compliment, a helping hand, or simply spending time with someone can make a difference in another person’s life. We never know what someone else may be going through. The person who smiles may be hurting. The person who seems distant may be lonely. The person who seems to be ignoring you may be worried. A small act of kindness could be exactly what they need to uplift their day.
God has blessed each of us with something we can share. We don’t have to wait until we have more money, more time, or more resources. We can start right where we are with what we have.
This season, look for opportunities to bless someone. Don’t underestimate the power of a simple act of kindness. Giving is not just about what leaves our hands. It is about what comes from our hearts.
You don’t have to have a lot to give a lot. You just need a heart that is willing to share.
