“Then Peter said, Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them, walking, leaping, and praising God.” (Acts 3:6-8)
In our daily lives, we often focus on what we lack instead of recognizing the abundance we already possess. In this powerful story, Peter didn’t offer silver or gold; he provided something far more valuable: the healing power of Jesus’ name. This moment teaches us that true giving comes not from our material wealth, but from the strength and gifts that God has placed within us.
Ask yourself: What do I have to offer? You might think you don’t possess the resources to support your church or community, but God is more interested in the willingness of your heart. If you can give five dollars with joy, it holds the same value to Him as a hundred. It’s not about the amount but the intention behind it.
Consider your time and talents. Perhaps you feel you can’t commit fully to serving in children’s or teen ministries. However, even small contributions, like helping out during special events, can make a significant impact. The message is clear: “Give What You Have” and let it flow from a place of love. God looks beyond our circumstances; He sees our hearts.
Think of the widow who gave her two small coins. Jesus highlighted her offering not because of its monetary value, but because she gave all she had. The challenge is not merely to give a little but to give wholeheartedly. What do you have today? As you share what you possess, you may be surprised by the abundance that God will pour back into your life.
“The only things we can keep are the things we freely give to God.”
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, today I choose to give from what I have, from the depths of my heart. I understand that You are not asking for what I lack, but for my willingness to share what I possess. As I offer my time, talents, and treasures—not out of obligation but with joy—I trust that You will bless me in ways that exceed my expectations. Thank You for guiding me to give freely and for the abundant blessings that follow. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
