The blessing of giving

A MESSAGE OF FAITH

Scripture consistently reminds us that generosity is not merely an act— it is a posture of the heart. When we give to those in need, something remarkable happens: God uses our open hands to do His work, and in return, He shapes our hearts to look more like His.

One of the clearest promises in Scripture comes from Proverbs 11:25: “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” This verse reminds us that when we give, we participate in a cycle of blessing. Our gift—whether time, money, encouragement, or presence— can lift a burden, renew hope, or meet a practical need. Yet God does more than help the recipient.
