AV Power Point:The Joy Of Generosity
| “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” Proverbs 11:25 Have you ever felt the warmth that spreads through your heart when you help someone? That’s the essence of Proverbs 11:25. It’s not just ancient wisdom; it’s a blueprint for a joyful, abundant life. |
| Generosity isn’t always easy. Sometimes we feel stretched thin, our resources depleted, our energy drained. But that’s precisely when God’s promise shines brightest. This proverb assures us that in our giving, we’re mysteriously replenished. It’s like a spiritual law of nature: the more we pour out, the more we’re filled up. |
| Think about it: a river doesn’t run dry by flowing; it’s constantly refreshed by its source. Similarly, as we generously share our time, talents, and resources, we tap into the boundless generosity of God. |
| Today, let’s be intentional about refreshing others. It could be a simple smile, a helping hand, a listening ear, or sharing what we have, even when it feels like we have little to give. As you step out in faith, watch how God’s grace flows through you, bringing blessings not only to others, but also to your own heart. |
| Dear God, |
| Thank You for the countless ways You bless me every day. Sometimes I feel like I have so little to give, but You remind me that even small acts of kindness matter. Help me to see those around me who need encouragement, a kind word, or a helping hand. |
| Teach me to give with a joyful heart, knowing that You’re the one who fills me up. When I feel empty or stretched thin, remind me that Your grace is enough. Remind me that in giving, I am blessed, and that true abundance comes from sharing Your love. |
| Thank You for showing me that in giving, I truly receive. |
| In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen. |
