It is more blessed to give than to receive...

Acts 20

Again I am compelled to cease my selfishness and to focus on others.

Paul writes:

35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” 

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You have given more than I can even imagine - You gave of course Your life - for me!  But it did not stop there because You continue to work in my life.  Yet I continue to sin and disappoint - for which I seek Your forgiveness.  I am selfish Lord - please rid me of this and help me give.  Help me focus on You Lord and help me be more like You.
