21 Bible Promises for Women预览

Charity and Generosity

“Freely you have received; freely give.”

MATTHEW 10:8 NIV

The theme of generosity is woven into the fabric of God’s Word. Our Creator instructs us to give generously—and cheerfully—to those in need. And He promises that when we do give of our time, our talents, and our resources, we will be blessed.

Jesus was the perfect example of generosity. He gave us everything, even His earthly life, so that we, His followers, might receive abundance, peace, and eternal life. He was always generous, always kind, always willing to help “the least of these.” And, if we are to follow in His footsteps, we too must be generous.

Sometime today you’ll encounter someone who needs a helping hand or a word of encouragement. When you encounter a person in need, think of yourself as Christ’s ambassador. And remember that whatever you do for the least of these, you also do for Him.

No matter how little you have, you can always give some of it away.
