We tend to hear a lot about giving during the Christmas season. From finding and sharing presents to making year-end donations to spreading cheer, there’s just a lot of giving going around.
We Have A Supply to Give From
“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.” –2 Corinthians 9:10
Sometimes we feel like we can’t afford to be generous. But our supply is ample. God himself provides for us!
We Can Give Because God Gives
“You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion.” –2 Corinthians 9:11
God enriches us in every way so that we can cheerfully give of what He so freely gives us.
One of the great privileges of being a child of God is that we are abundantly blessed with so many limitless gifts- all of which God intends for us to share.
We are…
Blessed to be a blessing.
Forgiven to be forgiving.
Graced to give grace.
Loved to love.
Our Generosity is an Expression of Thanks
“This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.” –2 Corinthians 9:12
When we give of what God has so freely given us, we’re demonstrating thankfulness to God too. He gives such good gifts, with so much abundance, that we overflow expressing our praise.
We’ll Never Run Out of Something to Give
“Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” –2 Corinthians 9:15
The truth is- we’ll never run out of reasons to be thankful to God. So, we’ll never run out of something to give. The source of life Himself lives in us!

I love this reminder that when we give, we put the generosity of God on display. We know He will meet our needs, and that frees us to have a role in meeting the needs of others. What a glorious chain reaction!
Amen! Thankful for the freedom His generosity affords us!
Yes, Bethany! We have the supply, God is our example of giving, our supply never runs out in Jesus Christ, and it IS and expression of thanks! Hallelujah! Thank you!
