Blessed to Bless

JANUARY 31, 2022

And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
Acts 20:35

 Recommended Reading: Acts 20:18-35

In his message to the Ephesians in Acts 20, the apostle Paul reminded them he had worked among them with humility and tears, loving them and preaching the whole counsel of God. He exhorted them to take care of themselves and of the flocks over which the Holy Spirit had made them overseers. He told them to support the weak, then he finished with a surprise. He revealed a statement Jesus made during His earthly ministry, one not recorded in the Gospels: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

As a child of God, we know we are blessed. But the hidden blessing many people forget is this one—it is a greater blessing to give blessings than to receive them. The Lord told Abraham, “I will bless you… and you shall be a blessing” (Genesis 12:2).

In days like this, our churches and ministries need people who are willing to receive the blessing of being givers—givers of our time, treasure, and talent. Let’s thank God for His blessings, and for the blessing of being a blessing to others.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Winston Churchill
