Have you ever stopped to really appreciate God’s unconditional love towards you? It’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind and overlook the myriad of ways God blesses us. Yet, these blessings—both big and small—are constant reminders of His love and provision. When you take the time to reflect on these gifts, it naturally leads you to the desire to share your blessings with others.
God is a bestower of good gifts, and each day He sends forth His rich blessings on us. While some of us are provided with the basic necessities of life, there are others around us who are less fortunate and could benefit from our tremendous blessings. As a result, God is expecting you to share your blessings to bless others. The more we recognize the abundance in our lives, the more we understand that these blessings are not just for us to keep, but to be shared generously.
When we recognize that everything we have is a gift from God, it becomes clear that these blessings are not just for our own enjoyment. God has a higher purpose in mind—He wants us to be conduits of His love and generosity. Our blessings are meant to flow through us and into the lives of others. To truly live out this calling, you must be intentional about finding ways to share your blessings with those around you.
There is great happiness to be had from giving, and when you give, you will reap physical and spiritual rewards. Can you believe that? It might seem counterintuitive in a world that often encourages us to look out for ourselves first. But God’s kingdom operates on different principles—principles that bring about true joy and fulfillment. When you share your blessings, you not only brighten someone else’s day but also invite God’s joy into your own life.
Luke 6:38 outlines this principle as it states that you should:
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38) NIV
This verse is not just a promise; it’s a divine principle. The more we give, the more God blesses us in return—not necessarily in material wealth, but in ways that enrich our lives spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. The joy that comes from giving is unparalleled, and it’s a joy that the world cannot offer.
I know sometimes, you may tend to hold on to what you have with the belief that you will never have enough to sustain you, but God has promised to reward you with His blessings. You can always trust His promises. When you share your blessings, you are not only making a difference in someone else’s life but also deepening your trust in God’s provision.
Think about the times when God has provided for you in unexpected ways. Perhaps it was a financial blessing when you needed it most, or maybe it was the comfort of a friend during a difficult season. God’s provision is always timely and sufficient, even when we don’t understand how He’s going to work things out. By choosing to share with others, you are testifying to God’s faithfulness and provision in your life.
While your primary motivation should not be based on you expecting a reward, God promises that when you give, your reward will “run over.” This means that you will be blessed in abundance. The act of giving is a testament to your faith in God’s promise to provide for you, even when it feels like you don’t have enough.

How often should you share your blessings? Give willingly and as often as possible, depending on your ability and the opportunities that confront you. Not only will you be rewarded with what you give, but you will be blessed in “great measure” so that you can continue to give to others. The more you give, the more opportunities God will give you to continue this cycle of generosity.
Generosity is more than just an occasional act; it’s a lifestyle that reflects the heart of Christ. As Christians, our generosity speaks volumes about the God we serve. When we give, we demonstrate the character of Christ to the world. We show that we serve a God who is generous, loving, and deeply concerned about the needs of others. Every time you share, you are reflecting the generous nature of God to those around you.
As a child of God, your generosity is a reflection of the character of Christ. When you share your blessings, others will come to know God as the kind and loving Father that He is—a God who is rich in mercy and extends grace to His children. As a result, they can confidently place their hope and trust in Him, knowing that He is a constant provider, and He cares.
Our acts of kindness and generosity can be powerful testimonies. They can open doors for conversations about faith and point people to the Source of all blessings. When we give, we are not just meeting physical needs; we are also sowing seeds of faith in the hearts of those we bless. Every time you bless someone, you are giving others a glimpse of Christ’s love and character.
Do you think you can outdo God’s giving? No, not at all. God is The Great Giver.
As the song “You Can’t Beat God Giving,” by Billy Preston, rightly states:
You can’t beat God’s giving, no matter how you try
And just as sure as you are living
And the Lord is in heaven on high
The more you give, the more He gives to you
But keep on giving because it’s really true
That you can’t beat God’s giving, no matter how you try
This truth is something that we can hold onto, especially when we feel like we’ve given all we can. God’s resources are limitless, and He will always replenish what we pour out in His name. Our job is to trust Him and to continue being faithful in our giving. When you share your blessings, remember that you are participating in a divine exchange where God’s giving far exceeds anything we can offer.
God extends His goodness and His grace toward each of us in spite of our failures. Let us continue to share His love and His rich blessings with others as we actively participate in the plan of salvation. Every time you share your blessings, you are playing a role in God’s grand plan to reach the world with His love and grace.
Sharing our blessings is one of the ways we can partner with God in His redemptive work. Every act of kindness, every generous gift, every moment of service is a small piece of God’s larger plan to bring healing, hope, and salvation to the world. When we give, we become part of something much bigger than ourselves. By giving to others, you are actively contributing to God’s work here on earth.
How can you share your blessings with others? Using the journal below, memorize Luke 6:38 as you consider some ways in which you can use your blessings to bless others.
As you reflect, ask God to help you to develop a lifestyle of service to others, as you seek to represent His character of goodness and showing grace. Here are a few practical ideas on how you can share your blessings:
Volunteer at a local shelter, church, or community center. Your time is one of the most valuable resources you can offer. When you share the blessing of time, you are investing in the lives of others.
Donate food, clothing, or money to those in need. Consider setting aside a portion of your income specifically for giving. Sharing in this way can provide immediate relief and hope to those in desperate situations.
If you have a particular skill or talent, use it to bless others. Whether it’s teaching, cooking, or even offering a listening ear, your talents can make a significant difference in someone’s life. When you share the gift of your talent, you are glorifying God with the gifts He has given you.
A kind word or a note of encouragement can go a long way. Be intentional about lifting others up with your words. Sharing your blessings through encouragement can provide the emotional support someone needs to keep going.
Never underestimate the power of prayer. Commit to praying for the needs of others, and let them know that you are interceding on their behalf. Sharing a blessing through prayer connects you to God’s power and purpose for others’ lives.
As you go about your daily life, remember that you are blessed to be a blessing. God has entrusted you with resources, time, and talents—not just for your benefit, but so that you can make a difference in the lives of others.
Embrace the joy of giving, trust in God’s provision, and live out your faith through generosity. As you do, you will find that the blessings in your life multiply in ways you never imagined. Remember, you can’t outgive God—so keep on giving and watch how He uses your generosity to change the world around you. And in all you do, continue to share your blessings as a testament to God’s goodness and love.
Grace and peace,
