If You’re Blessed, Share the Blessings

If you observe small children it’s quite evident that they would rather receive a gift than give one. Yet Jesus taught, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Part of achieving maturity is the discovery that there’s joy in giving to others. And that’s what God wants for us—he blesses us so that we can be a blessing to others. It’s almost like God is saying to us:

If I give you money, be generous to others.

If I’ve made you healthy and strong, volunteer to serve others.

If I’ve provided you with a house, entertain others.

God has richly blessed us, and we want to share those blessings – not because we have to, but because doing so brings joy. The greatest blessing of all is not continually receiving from God, but being used as a conduit through which blessings flow to others.
