It Is More Blessed To Give Than To Receive!

Act 20:35  I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

How shall we know the Difference between earthly and heavenly love? 

The one Centers on ourselves and is partly our ego seeking its Own gratification. 

The other Reaches Out to God and to people and Finds Its Joy in Glorifying Him and Blessing them. 

Love is Unselfishness, and the love that is not unselfish is not divine. 

How much do we give to others, and how much do we take for ourselves?

What is the center of our being?...Ourselves, or our Lord and His people and work?

May the Lord help us to know more fully the meaning of that great truth, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Mark 8:35  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

Have you found some precious treasure?

Pass it on.

Have you found some holy pleasure?

Pass it on.

Giving out is twice possessing,

Love will double every blessing,

On to higher service pressing,

Pass it on
