16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. ~ John 3:16
Every year, my family and I pack shoeboxes that go all over the world. And every year, I ask my family back home if they’d like to do shoebox as well. Many say yes, but some say no. I’ve noticed over the years that the ones that say no are always the ones that have the most wealth to share. Christmas is a time of giving and receiving, but as Scripture says:
It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Acts 20:35
It’s much easier to receive than it is to give. Giving means putting another above ourselves, which is against our very nature, but that’s what we’re called to do. We’re called to give to the poor, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. We don’t withhold love or help from others, especially when they are in great need of it.
This Christmas, give to those who are in need. Share the love of Christ with others. Remember the less fortunate. Give as God first gave to us.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Give To Others.
