God wants you to be the giver

Published: March 7, 2024 · Reviewed: June 10, 2024

God is a giver who wants His children to follow in His footsteps. Selfishness is the opposite of generosity.

Love in action is giving. And those who give are blessed by God.

PROVERBS 3:9-10 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:6-8 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

LUKE 12:33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

ACTS 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Both in this era and the one to come, he has vowed to bless those who give.

SAY THIS: Like my Heavenly Father, I will be a giver.

Prayer

"Dear Heavenly Father, guide us to embody Your divine generosity. Help us to give freely, not out of obligation, but with joy. May we sow bountifully, honouring You with our substance and firstfruits. Let our hearts remember Your promise, that it is more blessed to give than to receive. As we strive to support the weak, may we find our treasure in heaven, where neither thief nor moth can corrupt. Teach us to be givers, like You, our Father, in this life and the next. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
