God is the giver.
There is a sanctification in sacrifice–that’s where the Greek word comes from. Now whether you take that sanctification (or holiness) literally or figuratively, there is a glow about people who serve and give and sacrifice for others.
If the hope of giving is to love the living, the giver risks madness in the act of giving.
I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.
A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer.
Flattery corrupts both the receiver and the giver.
