we have something to give

"if you are a Christian, you are by nature a giver."
-john piper, speaking on acts 20:35 (in everything i did, i showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: "it is more blessed to give than to receive.")

why would we be told about this blessing if there wasn't a way to experience it? why would the bible say He loves cheerful generosity if it's something we can't exhibit?

Father, help us to think like you. help us reject thinking that says we have nothing of value to contribute; help us know that because of the cross and through friendship with you, we have something worthwhile to give.
