Health Message (December 12, 2025)

Good Sabbath Brothers and Sisters,

During the Christmas season, there is so much emphasis on giving. This should be our focus as there are so many in true need.

Luke 6:38 - "Give, and it shall be given unto you... For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."

This verse underscores the principle of reciprocity: when we give with a generous heart, we open ourselves to God's overflowing grace.

Proverbs 11:25 - "The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself."

Giving nourishes both the receiver and the giver, reinforcing the idea that generosity enriches our lives spiritually and emotionally.

Ellen White consistently taught that giving is essential for personal spiritual growth and for advancing God's work:

Giving as a Privilege: In Counsels of Stewardship, she wrote, "God has made men His stewards... to be carefully cherished and used for the benefit of humanity." Everything we have is a gift from God, entrusted to us for the well-being of others.

Giving fosters humility, compassion, and a Christ-like "The spirit of unselfish labor for others gives depth, stability, and Christlike loveliness to the character." "The joy of seeing others relieved from distress is a reward that no money can buy."

When we give, let it be with all our hearts.

May God Bless your Journey to Good Health!
