Why is it
more blessed to give than to receive?
1) Because the act itself is more salutary. The
act or habit of giving forever reminds us why we were sent
into the world; disperses our regard from self on others;
keeps up a tender spirit, a wakeful conscience, an onward look
of hope for more opportunity of good, an earnest endeavor to
better society, to promote happiness, to become a blessing to
the world in the largest sense.
2) To give is more blessed than to receive,
because it is more Christian ~ more the calling of the
follower and imitator of Christ.
3) To give is more blessed, as being
more in accordance with the teaching of the Holy Spirit. He is
the Spirit of
Love.
4) Again, it is more blessed as being more like
the Father Himself, who giveth us all things freely to enjoy;
who gave us His own Son and through Him His unspeakable gift
of the Holy Spirit. It is likeness to Him, partaking of the
Divine nature by being lifted into the likeness of all His
glorious attributes, that is the utmost perfection of created
being.

"In defiance of all the torture and malice and
might of the world,
the liberal man will ever be
rich,
for God's providence is his estate, God's
wisdom and power his defense,
God's love and favor his reward, and God's word
his security."
