JOY of Giving

written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations

What a wonderful world this would be if we all shared more of what we have with those who have not. Sharing is not just about giving money or assets to a charity or church. Sharing is caring deeply from the heart. It’s about reaching out to others, giving your time, ideas, wisdom and resources to help meet a need or simply bless others. Sharing is something you do unconditionally, without the expectation of receiving anything in return. However, you will probably find that the more you share, the more abundance somehow comes back to you in some other way.

For the Word says…”Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38)

I encourage you to open your eyes and your heart and allow the Lord to lead you. Rather it’s bag of groceries or a plate of cookies, sharing your clothes or offering to help, paying a Bill or buying a hamburger or coffee…Whatever the Lord puts on your heart, do it with love and then expect absolutely nothing in return! Demonstrating the compassion and love of Christ brings so much jOy to the heart. I promise, you will be amazingly surprised at how you are actually the one who’s blessed! I pray you will enjoy the spirit of “giving” this Christmas Season and all throughout the year! Enjoy this beautiful song challenging you to let your light shine!  God Bless!
