Christmas..We all love it! We look forward to it! But when it comes to receiving/giving gifts, well that often depends on a maturity level.
When we were young children, we loved to receive gifts, hopefully getting all the ones we asked for. But as adults, the storyline changes, especially if you have children, to giving, that gives you the most joy!
The same can be said about our walk with Christ. In the early days, we enjoy in the newness of our faith in God, we receive lots of “I’m so happy for your decision” and all the love your church hopefully showered you with!
But there comes a time, when you become more mature in your walk with Christ, that you go from “receiver” to “giver”. Paul reminds us of what Jesus said in Acts 20:35 “It is more blessed to give than receive”…not just material things, but encouragement, support,a smile, a handshake, and most importantly, giving the good news about our Savior… Hope your day is awesome and blessed! ❤️HT
