Shar ing Gifts w ith the Needy
How often have you hear d the w or ds "You need to shar e"? Per haps you thought your
mom just wanted you to
be nice. But shar ing w ith
other s is a Bible tr uth. By
giving to other s, you can
show people that you
r eally car e. Giving is a
way to show people that
you love Jesus.
Jesus show ed how much
He car ed w hen He left the
r iches and joy of heaven
to come to ear th. He came
know ing that He w ould
die on the cr oss to pay for
our sins. He gave us the
best gift of all - a way to
live for ever w ith Him.
Jesus is our best example.
He was always w illing to
give. Jesus was always
looking for people w ho
needed His help. Many
people tr aveled far just to
see Him because they
hear d about how He
helped many people in
need.
Look for people to help
ever y day. Shar e w ith
those in need w henever
you can. Give out of a
hear t of love for the Lor d.
God does not look at the
size of the gift w e give; He
looks at our hear t
attitude.
