The Grace in Giving

A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion. 

Psalm 112:5 NKJV

In the journey of life, guided by the hand of the Divine, we find ourselves wrapped in a comforting embrace of grace. As God’s beloved children, we discover the joy of reaching out to those in need with open hearts and hands. Sometimes, though, we wonder whether to help or not, and it’s in these moments that we seek guidance from above.

But in the teachings of scripture, we find wisdom that lights our path. It tells us that a kind-hearted person, whose goodness reflects that of their Creator, gives freely and without judgment. After all, as the saying goes, “You can never become poor by giving.” So let’s embrace a spirit of generosity, knowing that our God is the ultimate Provider.

Still, we shouldn’t overlook the importance of wisdom. The Psalm reminds us that it’s not just about giving, but also about being wise in our generosity. We should be smart and compassionate, understanding that not everyone’s intentions are pure. Yet, even if we’re let down, we shouldn’t let bitterness take hold. Instead, let’s turn to God for strength and keep on giving, just like Jesus did.

In our acts of kindness, we reflect the very nature of our Creator. So let’s make our lives a testament to God’s endless grace and generosity, because in giving, we become more like the divine.
