Giving is living
that so labouring ye ought to support the weak,
and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus,
how he said, It is more blessed to give than to
receive" - Acts 20:35
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: To live for self is to live
for less; a life of self is a life on the shelf.
Giving, simply is the act of releasing to someone
that which you own. It may interest you to know
that, giving is living; and quality giving equals
quality living. You have not started living until you
have started giving. The quality of your life is
measured by the quantity and quality of your
donation to humanity. You may be a rich man in
the eyes of people but as long as no one is feeling
the impact of your wealth, you are a poor man
with some money.
In Acts 14:19-20, when Paul the apostle was
stoned and dragged out of the city as being dead,
those he had impacted surrounded him until he
got up. The meaning is, those whose lives he had
touched, touched his life when he had almost
died. What you sow does not go away, but gives
you a way. Those you impact in times of progress
are those who may impact you in times of
problems.
Beloved, to live for self is to live for less and a life
of self is a life on the shelf. You should not just
exist for consumption, rather, exist for
contribution. You have to exist for donation
rather than for decoration. If you exist for
consumption rather than contribution, then your
existence is a waste.
Remember this: to live for self is to live for less; a
life of self is a life on the shelf.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Make giving a practical part of your life.
2. Do not wait until you have billions in your bank
account before beginning to give – start giving
from what you have.
3. Give your time in intercession for someone
also.
