'It is more blessed to give

It is more blessed to give than to receive!

"Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said: It is more blessed to give than to receive! " Acts 20:35

We can always do our best work, when we do it not for ourselves but so that it may bless others.

If the motive in all our ambition, all our toil, all our effort — is to become wiser, stronger, greater, and more influential — in order that we may do more in Christ's name for others — then whatever we do will be beautiful and noble.

The right motive exalts and makes the work noble.

We get the largest measure of good for ourselves, from our actions when our first aim is to do good to another.

If you wish to get the best from any good thing, receive it from God — and then quickly minister it in Christ's name to others. The richest blessing comes not in the receiving, but in giving and doing.

"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31
