Be a Blessing
“And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
This quote is from Acts of the Apostles 20:35 in the New Living Translation (NLT) of the Bible. It is part of a speech given by the apostle Paul to the Ephesian elders, and it highlights the importance of generosity and helping others. Paul encourages the listeners to follow the teachings of Jesus, who said that giving is more rewarding and fulfilling than receiving.
I'm sure that most of us work hard just to put food on our family's table. Imagine working hard to bless those in need. We live today in a society where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Pure greed and selfishness are too blame!As believers, we should be a part of the solution, not the problem. Work diligently and give generously to those in need, trusting the Lord to be your source of blessing. Let the Holy Spirit fill your heart with compassion and direct you on how to bless others.
