OCT. 24– Freely You Have Received, Freely Give

Matthew 10:8  Freely you have received; freely give.

Explanation: Grace is gift, not wage. We did not earn mercy; we received it freely. Therefore we give freely—time, resources, compassion—without calculation. Freely given grace creates freely giving people.

Grace received becomes grace given.
Generosity reflects gratitude.
The gospel produces open hands.

Poem — “Freely Given”
Grace comes at no cost.
Mercy pours without demand.
Love flows unearned.
Blessings arrive from God.
We give because He gave.

Generosity rises from gratitude.
Gifts are shared in trust.
Lives are poured out.
Hearts are opened.
Grace makes us generous.

Freely saved, we freely serve.
Freely loved, we freely love.
Freely blessed, we freely bless.
Freely forgiven, we freely forgive.
Freely graced, we freely give.

Prayer: Lord, remind me daily of grace I have received. Let gratitude overflow in generosity.
Father, free me from fear or stinginess. Teach me to give as You have given. Amen.
