Joy of Giving

Giving gifts to others, we learn to give the way God gives – sincerely, freely, and with joy.

Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” Acts 20:35 (NKJV). It’s not a call to exhausting self-sacrifice but an invitation to the joy of God’s heart. For when God gives, He never loses – His love is poured out. And when we give, we become a part of this movement of heavenly generosity.

We often think that gift-giving is an outlay of time, money, and effort. But in God’s logic, everything is vice versa. True joy comes when love pours through us, impacting others. Gift-giving is never exhausting, but always fulfilling.

Christ didn’t just talk of love; He lived it. His life was an integral gift – from the manger to Calvary. And our every gift made with love is a little “yes” to God, an echo of His greater “I’m giving.”

Therefore, this Christmas, don’t be afraid to give time, care, attention, and nice words. Everything given with love returns in joy.

Steps of Love

Let these steps of love encourage you today to share not out of obligation but out of the joy of the heart:

• Give a little present to a person you don’t expect anything from in return.
• Share your time – invite someone for a cup of coffee, listen to him/her carefully, unhurriedly.
• Give something precious not in order to lose, but to give love.
