More Blessed To Give Than To Receive

It is more blessed to give than to receive - Acts 20:35.

                       It is more blessed to give than to receive as all earthly possessions are temporary and will be destroyed. Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also - Matthew 6:19-21. Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me - Matthew 25:40.

Give to the one who asks you

Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you - Matthew 5:42.

Share with the one who has none

Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same - Luke 3:10–11.

Open wide your hand

You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land' - Deuteronomy 15:11b. 

God loves a cheerful giver

He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver - 2 Corinthians 9:6, 7.

Light will rise in the darkness, and darkness will become like the noonday

If you extend your soul to the hungry And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light shall dawn in the darkness, And your darkness shall be as the noonday - Isaiah 58:10.

Blessed

The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor - Proverbs 22:9.

It will be measured back to you

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you - Luke 6:38.

Prosper

The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed - Psalm 41:1-3.

Good will come 

Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice - Psalm 112:5.

Children will be a blessing 

They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing - Psalm 37:26.
