“Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35)

Friend, Jesus wasn’t just giving us a suggestion—He was showing us a secret to joy. We live in a world that shouts, Grab what you can, hold on tight, and make sure you don’t miss out. But Jesus flips the script. He says the real blessing isn’t in clutching what you’ve got. It’s in opening your hands and giving it away.

And giving isn’t just about money. It’s about time, encouragement, kindness, forgiveness, even a listening ear. Every time you give, you’re planting seeds that God waters. And here’s the miracle: when you give, you don’t run out—you fill up. Because God always pours back more than you let go.

So, if your joy feels thin today, try this: don’t wait for a blessing. Be one. Call somebody. Hug somebody. Help somebody. Because Jesus wasn’t kidding when He said it—there’s more blessing in the giving than the getting.
