Joh 3:16 (AMP) For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.

God is a giver and giving is part of his nature. His giving heart was revealed in his greatest gift he ever gave. When God gave us the gift of Jesus Christ he gave us his very best gift. God takes pleasure in giving. When he gives he is never stingy. He is the El-Shaddai the God who is more than enough not the El-cheapo! David the great psalmist and king of Israel wrote of how great God is a giver. God is a God of overflowing blessings! Psa 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over. Giving is such a part of God’s nature it would be unlike God not to give. God is such a giver his goodness overflows on the just and the unjust! Mat 5:44-45 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. As believers in Jesus Christ we should reflect the nature of our father who is a giver. So the next time the opportunity comes to be a blessing through the act of giving remember to imitate your father and give!
