It Is More Blessed to Give

“Remember that we have been taught, ‘It is more blessed to give, than to receive…..’ To give your time, to give your attention, to give your practical help, to give the benefit of the doubt, to give someone another chance, to give grace and forgiveness, realizing how desperately you have needed, and still need, both -- from God and from others -- yourself.” – Jon G. Baldwin

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” – Colossians 3:12-14
