Jesus said that giving is better than getting. Find out why that's true.
Key Points:
- Giving is better than giving. Jesus said that you will be more happy when you are generous to someone than when you receive a present from someone.
- Be generous with your time and money. Whenever you get money, give some of it away to your local church or a ministry that matters to you. Use your time to help people. Don’t wait until your parents ask you to do something, just start helping.
- Give joyfully. God wants you to be a happy giver. He doesn’t want you to give because your parents or this article makes you. He wants you to give because that’s what you feel in your heart.
Quote This:
Acts 20: 35 You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.
