Now $40 may not sound like much, but considering they have no allowance and only receive the occasional $5 from birthdays or holidays, that&rsquo;s really something. Likely, that accounts for about 50% of their net worth given away to children and families they will never meet. Lots of children are even more generous.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-align: center\">Even the wealthiest donors don&rsquo;t give away all their money. But time and again, children do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps even more amazing is how excited kids are to be generous and give. My own children were giddy as they paged through the Gift Catalog and circled the items they most wanted to give.<\/p>\n<p>Why are children like this? Well, it turns out that<a href=\"\/christian-faith-news-stories\/what-the-bible-says-about-generosity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> joyful generosity<\/a> is a&nbsp;normal human state &mdash; we&rsquo;re biologically wired for sacrificial giving.<\/p>\n<p>God has designed our bodies to be compassionate.<\/p>\n<h2>1.&nbsp;Joy released<\/h2>\n<p>The Apostle Paul says to give joyfully (2 Corinthians 9:6-7), so perhaps that&rsquo;s why God designed our bodies to be really happy about our giving.<\/p>\n<p>Oxytocin is a powerful brain chemical that has a number of uses in our bodies. In women, it is essential for childbirth, for example.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/health.usnews.com\/health-news\/health-wellness\/articles\/2015\/05\/01\/what-generosity-does-to-your-brain-and-life-expectancy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Research<\/a> says the neurochemical gives us feelings of warmth toward others, and it&rsquo;s one of the chemical bases for our enjoyment of giving. A late-night session of board games with good friends or hugging a companion produces an oxytocin rush. Acts of compassion spur our bodies to create more oxytocin, which encourages even more compassion.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Spiritual growth&nbsp;enhanced<\/h2>\n<p>Giving and other forms of compassion do more than release brain chemicals. They stimulate areas of the brain that are involved in prayer. The anterior cingulate is involved in a lot of our thinking&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;our memory, attention, and motivation&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;but it&rsquo;s also active in prayer, empathy, and compassion.<\/p>\n<p>Since brain cells work in the same way as muscle cells&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;they get stronger the more you use them&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;prayer enhances our compassion, and compassion grows us spiritually.<\/p>\n<h2>3.&nbsp;Connections&nbsp;strengthened<\/h2>\n<p>Humans have a unique kind of neuron called the von Economo, which branches out to nearly every area of the brain and seems to be specialized in developing social awareness skills. Our ability to pick up someone&rsquo;s body language, to interpret a voice inflection, and&nbsp;to recognize when someone gives us a &ldquo;look&rdquo; relies on the von Economo neuron. So does our ability to connect with others through our own body language.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, compassion exercises and develops this important brain cell.<\/p>\n<h2>4.&nbsp;Good gut feelings&nbsp;promoted<\/h2>\n<p>The vagus nerve aids our digestion. But it also is known as &ldquo;the care-taking organ&rdquo; because of its involvement when we are caring for others.<\/p>\n<p>When researchers showed a video of a woman injured in an accident, they measured the vagus nerves of their subjects, as well as heart rate and stress levels. Those who reported feeling the most compassionate also showed reduced stress and lower heart rates. Researchers have connected activity in the vagus nerve to feeling optimism, physical health, and greater artistic appreciation.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Body&nbsp;healed<\/h2>\n<p>When scientists wanted to determine which multiple sclerosis treatment would work best, they had no idea that recruiting others who suffered from the illness would lead them in an unexpected direction. One group of subjects would learn coping skills. The others would be able to discuss their illness with fellow multiple sclerosis sufferers. After two years, the results were clear. Neither group improved as much as those who offered help by listening. Giving &mdash; in this case, giving help &mdash; turned out to improve a person&rsquo;s health more than anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the best thing scientists have discovered about compassion is that we can cultivate it. Our desire to give grows the more we give. And it turns out that we&rsquo;re better off because of it.<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33079 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"5 things that happen to your body when you give | charitable giving | why giving to charity is good for you\" width=\"720\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2016\/11\/5-things-that-happen-to-your-body.png 720w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2016\/11\/5-things-that-happen-to-your-body-427x640.png 427w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2016\/11\/5-things-that-happen-to-your-body-167x250.png 167w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2016\/11\/5-things-that-happen-to-your-body-160x240.png 160w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2016\/11\/5-things-that-happen-to-your-body-377x566.png 377w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2016\/11\/5-things-that-happen-to-your-body-507x760.png 507w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2016\/11\/5-things-that-happen-to-your-body.png\">Rob Moll, a former communications officer to World&nbsp;Vision U.S. President&nbsp;Richard&nbsp;Stearns, is the author of&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/What-Your-Body-Knows-About\/dp\/0830836772\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What Your Body Knows About God: How we&rsquo;re designed to connect, serve and thrive.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joyful generosity is a normal human state \u2014 we\u2019re biologically wired for sacrificial giving.
