Giving God's Way

Starting today, I am making a promise to myself to write.  My hope is to either write on my blog or in my journal each day, even if it’s just a page.  Self-reflection is powerful and it helps you to see how God is transforming you over time.  Here are some of my random thoughts for this beautiful Sunday morning:

• Give to others of your resources and time.  Give to those who cannot return the favor.   Luke 6:30,34
• You may give to others who can return the favor, but won’t.   You may give to others who may return hate instead of gratefulness. Don’t be upset over this.  Keep giving.  If you think about it, you are really giving to God and He is the one that should matter. He is your reward.  Luke  6:31-36, Luke 6:38
• Give to yourself the gift of time spent in the presence of God.   You cannot give to others  unless you have been filled with Him.  Without him, you will find your own resources limited and your body and mind exhausted.  Going to God will ensure that you are filled with a supernatural reservoir of God that spills over into the lives of others.

“You give but little when you give of your possessions.  It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.”  Kahlil Gibran

Here’s to a year of Godly giving!
