In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'" Acts 20:35
A pretty good sign of maturity is seen when we would rather give than receive. Remember Christmas and birthday time when we were kids? It was all "gimme, gimme". Then one day we found our joy in giving to others. The same is a good sign of spiritual maturity as well, when we find ourselves not following Christ for what we can get, but rather what we can give to others. When we find our blessings in giving and helping, we start to look more like Jesus every day. Let's make that our goal.
