For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, — Rom 1:11 BSB

We should always desire to be a blessing to those we love. God often sends His most precious spiritual gifts through human hearts and hands. There’s no better morning prayer than to ask God to let us bring help, comfort, inspiration, courage, or cheer to every life we touch throughout the day. There are always people who need such help, and there’s no higher purpose than to quietly and gently make a difference in others’ lives.

We should also make sure that what we give is the best we have. Sometimes, making someone laugh is the best gift we can offer, but there are other moments when people need cheer for a discouraged heart, comfort for sorrow, or the inspiration of a new thought we’ve discovered. Above all, we should ensure that every person we meet leaves better because of what we’ve shared.
