Some people are avid regifters. They may need very little themselves, so they get joy out of giving what they have received to others. Many just see regifting as an opportunity to offload something that they didn’t really want in the first place. White elephant gift exchanges are a prime example of the downside of regifting. What if we found a way to give to others the good and desired things we received?
II Corinthians 1:3-4 says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” God has never faced a situation in any person’s life that He could not and would not provide comfort. Having received comfort from God, we have the responsibility to share this comfort with others in similar afflictions that we have faced.
