GIVING
On his way to Jerusalem, Paul shared a quote from Jesus, “IT IS
MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE” [Ac
20:35]. Most people consider it more enjoyable to receive than to
give. Speaking about the end times when people are judged and
separated, Jesus speaks favorably about people who gave
“SOMETHING TO EAT” or “TO DRINK” or “CLOTHES”,
etc [Mt 25:35]. Unfortunately, most people will not develop a
giving attitude or stop sinning to help have eternal life. Jesus
teaches us that what is important in our life is not our
“ABUNDANCE OF POSSESSIONS” [Lk 12:15 NRS]. If a
person will follow Jesus and “DENY” [Lk 9:23] themselves and
start giving, they will discover great pleasure in giving. To get
started, just give away what you haven’t used in a long time. As we
“TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WANT THEM TO TREAT YOU”
[Lk 6:31 TL], our possessions become less important and we find
pleasure in giving, even food and drink. Give out of obedience to
God and enjoy being blessed by God. Do you enjoy giving? To
