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.’
When asked what the greatest commandments were, Jesus gave two simple answers: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. All the other commandments are summed up in these two, and the first one pours into the second. If you love the Lord, you’ll care about the people He cares about, and love those whom only Christ could love. Part of loving is giving. Give to others, whether that means giving your time, giving your attention, or giving the material things God has given you. It all belongs to Him, and if you want to love others as much as yourself, show them the same generosity that you would like to be shown.
