Freely Give
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. —2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NLT)
Freely we have received, let us freely give. YAHWEH fills our cup to overflowing with blessings (see Psalm 23:6) so we can have more than enough to share with others. See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! (See 1 John 3:1 NIV) Let us also bestow upon others this same unconditional, unfailing love. A love that is patient and kind and keeps no record of being wronged. (See 1 Corinthians 13:4-5) Just as our heavenly Father sees the best in us, let us also highlight the good qualities in others. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. (Ephesians 1:7 NLT) May we shower His kindness and grace on others. In John 14:27 (NKJV), Jesus said: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you…” May we let the peace of God rule in our hearts, and pursue peace with all people. (See Hebrews 12:14) Be a generous giver of all God has so graciously given to you.
