It is Better to Give than to Get

These words, spoken by my 9 year old granddaughter, are truly the heart of the matter as this Christmas day comes to a close.

I pray that the Lord has found my giving worthy of Him. I pray that I have thought enough of Christ and His passionate love for me, that I gave deeply and sincerely and in His honor.

My heart grieves for those who are hungry, cold and alone, not just in this season, but always. God, I pray your sufficiency on those who need you most.

Truly, IT IS BETTER THAN TO GIVE THAN TO GET. Burden me Father so that I give freely of all that You have given me.
