2 Corinthians 9:6
The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

God takes notice when we are selfless. The Word promises that we will be rewarded with eternal treasures in Heaven when we bless others, and during our lives on earth, chances are that others will notice too. Whoever gives generously will reap a rich reward, but in the end, that reward shouldn’t be the reason we give. Our generosity should always come from the heart, and our desire to serve God.

Acts 20:35 In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’

Jesus purpose for being on Earth was to give. He gave His heart, His time, and ultimately His life to benefit humanity, and as living examples of Christ, we should make every effort to be generous to those around us. Whether you’re sacrificing money, time or your personal wants, we are assured that it is more blessed to give than to receive.

Isaiah 26:3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.

Trusting in God doesn’t mean we can expect all trials and pain to disappear from our lives, but we do know that the Lord knows best. In the midst of worry and hardships, we know that He is working in and through our lives, and will never leave us nor forsake us. As Christians, we can’t lose; our eternity in Heaven is sealed, and wherever we go, God will be with us.

Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

We all have parts of our lives and our identities that we can be thankful for, whether it’s the people around us, the country we live in, or simply the fact that we’ve been bought and paid for by the blood of Christ. The bible encourages us not to be anxious about the present or the future, but to be thankful for God’s blessings, and to make our requests known to him. Prayer is powerful, and God is always listening.

Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Having peace that passes understanding isn’t about your circumstances. True peace comes from God, but more than that, He gives us joy and hope through the Holy Spirit. What sets followers of Christ apart is that our ultimate hope and joy is our salvation, and despite the difficulties life throws at us, nothing can take that gift away from us.

John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

Nowhere in God’s word does it promise that we will live peaceful and easy lives; but despite our situation, we can have peace in whatever we’re facing. Christ has overcome sin and death, and there is no challenge we will face that He is not familiar with. We will face tribulations, but we will never face them alone, nor will we face them forever.
