Giving is Living
Cast your bread upon many waters for you will find it after many days. Eccl. 11:1
Giving is a FORCE that not only helps another but mostly it releases blessings to the giver. Most of us like to think of giving in terms of money. But really, “giving” can be and should be a lifestyle.
How? You may ask.
Make a deliberate choice to give something away everyday. The most precious gifts you can give cost you nothing – love, time, praise and encouragement. Certainly we can give people money also.
One of the greatest hindrances to giving is our past experience. We all know people who have taken advantage of us. But that shouldn’t stop us from a lifestyle of giving. If we don’t give, it stops the circulation of God’s blessing. We create clogged up pipes making it hard to keep money flowing back in our direction. The very nature of giving is to be unselfish. Amazingly, if we’re cynical, critical or negative about giving, we hurt ourselves the most.
The cool thing about money is it needs to flow. Money has its greatest impact when it is circulated. You see, giving is like planting a seed. Unless we sow the seed, we can’t reap a harvest. So be generous. Be the biggest tip giver. Pay your employees as best as you can. Praise more than you criticize them. Give where nobody is watching and you’ll be amazed what God gives back to you. By the way, be generous to your own family!
Remember, giving is living. Giving and receiving are two sides of the same coin. And don’t be worried of giving too much. I’m yet to meet a person who went broke by giving.
Give and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38
