The Righteous Giveth and Spareth Not

The Bible says that the righteous give without sparing. Am I righteous? Are you? We, as humans, are naturally selfish. We don't want to share. We think that we deserve what we have because we have worked for it. We should get to enjoy what we have earned. But, that is not right! God has given us everything that we have. He has given us all our talents, our minds, and our abilities. Nothing we have is to our own credit. We have no reason to boast. Thus, we should be willing to share God's blessings around. We have no good reason to hoard what God has blessed us with. We should willingly be giving our time and money to help other people. God did not give us all these blessings to consume on ourselves. He wants us to share. This is how we will receive the biggest blessing of all.

 
 

Lord, help me to give without sparing. Help me to be generous with the things that You have given me. Help me to find true satisfaction in sacrificial living. Help me to live my life for You and for the benefit of others.
