Givers Never Lack

in #sc-n6 years ago

What do you mean by giving;

  • To show compassion to your fellow human beings.
  • To give your knowledge,time, money and experience without any expectations.
  • Sharing your joy and happiness(because they are contagious)to people in need of them.

Remember no act of kindness or giving is wasted no matter how small.
These are some bible verses that encourages us to be givers;

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
2 Corinthians 9:7

“A gift opens the way
and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.”
Proverbs 18:16

“A generous person will prosper;
whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”
Proverbs 11:25

“For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.”
2 Corinthians 8:12

“But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.”
1 Chronicles 29:14

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Luke 6:34

“Honor the Lord with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops.”
Proverbs 3:9

“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.”
2 Corinthians 9:10

“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.”
Matthew 6:2

Don't expect to receive if you do not give, give wholeheartedly and not reluctantly,it must be from your heart, according to mother Theresa its not how much we give but how much love we put in the giving.
The bible says that;

Blessed are those who give without interest who offer themselves and expect nothing in return.
Hallowed are the places of small sacrifices
Sacred are the acts of true adoration for they reveal the heart of the divine
Envy not the givers in the crowd,earning praises for their generous deeds, for they have received their reward.
But for those who give in secret ,more shall be given unto them
They shall be called blessed,true saints!
The restorers of streets to dwell in.
