21 Great Bible Verses About Giving

Prayer For A Christian Friend Who Is Selling Their House

It’s that time of year again – I love Christmas!

Can you imagine what it would be without giving being such a major part of it?

If you are a bit jaded about Christmas ( we all can become sometimes) I encourage you to really step back and try to become joyful about your giving.

We have the opportunity to let the gifts we purchase be an obligatory purchase or we can choose to give a gift.

I think this was what Paul was talking about when he said, “Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.“

The attitude behind it really matters.

There is a huge difference between buying stuff that you feel (or are) obligated to, and intentionally (and cheerfully) giving something to another person.

And when you consider the possibilities of making homemade Christmas gifts that will be remembered it can really help put new meaning to giving gifts.

So if you need a little boost to your giving attitude this year, do a little meditating on the scriptures below.

And for extra credit you can check out some of these inspiring giving quotes.
