Sharing is caring! How many of us absolutely hated being told this as a kid? No, I do not want to share right now. We struggle to share with those around us even today because we forget it is a caring act. Three things may stop you from sharing with others. 1. You think you deserve it more than them, 2. You believe having all of it for yourself will make you happier, or 3. You are unmotivated to bother going up to them and offering.
It may be a harsh reality, but none of those reasons are good. So what's stopping you from sharing? Today's verse says God is pleased when we sacrifice some of our belongings, time, and attention for the good of others. We usually think sharing something tangible will make more of a difference than something you can't hold in your hands. But each act of selflessness is worth it. So think of something you can share this week to spread the spirit of Christmas.
What usually brings up feelings of hesitation when it comes to sharing?

About this Plan

In this 20-day devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we’ll hear more about God's plans for us and the whole world.
