It&#8217;s about reflecting the heart of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Being a giver looks different for each of us. Some are incredible prayer warriors, others are encouragers, planners, or have the gift of hospitality.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Giving isn&#8217;t always financial &mdash; it&#8217;s about noticing needs and stepping in with love, even outside our natural comfort zones.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It&#8217;s about offering help <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> humbly receiving it, too. Remember, when you allow someone to bless you, you&#8217;re also giving them a gift.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">I invite you to watch the full episode, where I dive deeper into what it looks like to live this out authentically. I also explore other aspects of what it looks like to be a Godly friend.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Evaluating those in your inner circle can be an exercise that encourages you, and shining as a bright light in someone else&#8217;s life will also bring blessing to yours.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">I pray you&#8217;ll check out the episode and let it change how you think about giving and taking in relationships.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Let&#8217;s continue to be givers. Let&#8217;s love well, serve deeply, and receive joyfully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">I&#8217;m Cheering You Wildly!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Alita<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenoffaith.com\/blog\/be-a-giver-not-a-taker\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, I want to encourage you with something close to my heart: Be a Giver.&nbsp; In a world where so many are taking, grabbing, and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":295973,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[188],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-295972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-religion"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295972"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295972\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
