Enjoy the Greater Happiness That Comes From Giving

 

"There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving." - ACTS 20:35. 

When Jehovah created humans, he designed them to with the ability to find more happiness in giving than in receiving. (Acts 20:35) Does this mean that we do not gain any happiness from receiving? No. We know from experience that we feel good when we receive a gift. Still, we feel even greater happiness when we are the giver. And really, it is to our benefit that Jehovah made us this way. Why?

By creating us the way he did, Jehovah allows us to influence our happiness. We can increase our joy by looking for additional opportunities to give. Is that not a wonderful aspect of how we are made? - PSALM 139:14.
