The Law of Giving and Receiving

“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” Proverbs 11:25

Have you ever noticed how your heart feels after you help someone? That quiet warmth isn’t accidental. It’s how God designed things.

Generosity isn’t always convenient. Sometimes we feel stretched thin — tired, busy, even worn down. And yet Proverbs reminds us of a simple truth: those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.

This isn’t a prosperity formula. It’s a principle woven into God’s design. Like a river that keeps flowing because it stays connected to its source, the believer who gives stays connected to the Giver.

I’ve found that some of my most encouraged days were days I chose to encourage someone else — even when I didn’t feel like I had much to offer.

Today, look for one way to refresh someone. A word. A call. A small act of kindness. You may discover that in helping someone else stand a little taller, your own soul stands taller too.

In God’s economy, generosity is never wasted.
