As I Give, I Gain.
When I give to another, I feel energized and delighted. Whether it’s a carefully chosen gift or a loving, listening ear, I am uplifted by the very act of giving. I give in countless ways. I give others my time through thoughtful attention. I may volunteer or serve as a mentor. I might share my talents or skills with others or donate to a cause I care about. This giving is my reward. By the law of giving and receiving, I trust I will benefit, possibly in unexpected ways. I also give to myself. I make time for renewal and refreshment. I celebrate accomplishments. I make sacred devotional time a priority and place my attention on my oneness with God.
Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.—2 Corinthians 9:7
