We must realize that both generously giving and gracefully receiving are equally essential for personal and spiritual growth. The apostle Paul emphasizes in Acts 20:35, quoting our Lord and Savior, that "it is more blessed to give than to receive," enabling us to emulate Almighty God's boundless generosity. But receiving is equally vital and important, fostering humility as well as strengthening relationships among God's people. Accepting gifts graciously honors the giver's intent. Reflecting openness to God's provision through others, Jesus humbly accepted the costly oil and anointing (Luke 7:36 and Mark 14:3). Jesus enabled the givers to experience the joy of their generosity without feeling an obligation to reciprocate. Giving and receiving are behaviors that glorify God. God's people need to embrace both humility and gratitude during the communal events at the Feast of Tabernacles.
