GIVING IS LIVING
SCRIPTURE: Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Luke 6:30
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You have not started living until you have started giving. To give despite your need is called sacrifice.
True giving is an act of releasing something to someone without
expecting them to pay back. It is the releasing of your love,
potentials, time, resources etc., to benefit humanity and Divinity.
A major essence of living is giving; so, giving is living. You have
not started living until you have started giving. To give despite your
need is called sacrifice. To exist without anyone benefiting from your
life is a waste of existence.
A story was told of a stupendously rich man who died and while his
remains were being buried, a mad man shouted: “Hold on! Do not bury him
without his cars, and houses; bury them with him o”. It is possible that
while the rich man was alive, no one benefited from his wealth.
Beloved, riches without outreach is vanity.
If you want God to breathe into your life, you must breathe out. If
you want to inhale, you must exhale. To take in oxygen, you must give
out carbon (iv) oxide.
Beloved, until you live to release, it is possible your existence on earth is a waste.
Remember This: You have not started living until you have started giving. To give despite your need is called sacrifice.
ASSIGNMENT (S):
