Refreshing
“The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” The feeling this statement inspires in my imagination is beautiful and full of life. When we choose to give generously to others, we prosper in return. The very idea of refreshing others is tender and wonderful. To think that we can intentionally be a place of refreshing to someone we care about is a gift, significant in itself, and yet there is the bonus benefit of being refreshed in the process.
This statement is made in Proverbs 11:25 Here is the verse in a few different translations:
- The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. NLT
- The generous man will be prosperous, And he who waters will himself be watered. NASB
- The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped. MSG
