Good ThingsSample
Did you know today's verse is the most quoted verse in the bible? And for a good reason. In one sentence, it summarizes God's love for humanity. Not only that, but it also tells us God's purpose. God so loved the world. Not just you, not just your city or country, but God's love extends far, high, deep, and wide. We celebrate Christmas by giving gifts. Sure, it's one of the most enjoyable parts of this holiday, but it's also a great reminder of God's love for us, as well as how we should love one another.
We are never more like God than when we give. We can give of our time or maybe a gift we created ourselves. These are great examples of what God is like. Especially when you give with sacrifice, whether you've saved up for a long time and were patient for that money or gave away one of your most treasured possessions. God also gave the ultimate sacrifice and most prized possession, Jesus, all from a place of love.
How can you be generous with your time and energy?
