Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.
(Proverbs 19:17 ESV)
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.
(Luke 6:38 ESV)
In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’
(Acts 20:35 ESV)
Halloween has passed. Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before we know it. I was watching a Christmas movie yesterday. It was about a family that had split apart but was finding their way back together.
Do you have family you don’t see as often as you’d like? Maybe kids who have jobs that keep them away. Maybe harsh words or hard feelings keeping them away. This holiday season, I want to encourage you to mend broken fences. Even if it was someone else’s fault. Make amends. Tell them you love them. Tell them how much Jesus loves them. If you see someone less fortunate than you, help them if you can. Spread some holiday cheer in a hurting world.
Have a blessed day, everyone.
