Apologies in advance as I’m posting with my iPad and have no pinger. I may be slow to responding.

A Giver’s Heart

Bible in a Year:

A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

Proverbs 11:25 On our last day in Wisconsin, my friend brought her four-year-old daughter Kinslee to say goodbye. “I don’t want you to move,” said Kinslee. I hugged her and gave her a canvas, hand-painted fan from my collection. “When you miss me, use this fan and remember that I love you.” Kinslee asked if she could have a different fan—a paper one from my bag. “That one’s broken,” I said. “I want you to have my best fan.” I didn’t regret giving Kinslee my favorite fan. Seeing her happy made me happier. Later, Kinslee told her mother she was sad because I kept the broken fan. They sent me a brand-new, fancy purple fan. After giving generously to me, Kinslee felt happy again. So did I.

In a world that promotes self-gratification and self-preservation, we can be tempted to hoard instead of living with giving hearts. However, the Bible says that a person who “gives freely . . . gains even more” (Proverbs 11:24). Our culture defines prosperity as having more and more and more, but the Bible says that “a generous person will prosper” and “whoever refreshes others will be refreshed” (v. 25).

God’s unlimited and unconditional love and generosity continually recharge us. We can each have a giver’s heart and create unending giving cycles because we know God—the Giver of all good things—never gets tired of providing abundantly. .

Reflect & Pray

How has the generosity of others helped you get closer to Jesus? How can you put someone else’s needs above your own this week?

Dear God, help me give as generously as You’ve given to me.

I didn’t expect to place at all tonight, as I was out singing earlier.

Yeah we were pretty drenched after a full 24-hours.

Been hanging in Virginia all week.
Have a chillin’ evening.

I didn’t realize that it had stayed in that area for so long. Bet everyone is sick of it. Wish some of it could be blown this way!
