ABOUT GIVING

Acts 20:35 "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

A lot of time giving is translated into material form, into money. This can be useful depending on the need.

But giving is not merely about money. It can be in a lot of form, it can be time, it can be helping hand, it can be an advice, or even just a smile.



Hebrews 13:16 reminds us "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God"

I like the advise, Do not neglect to do good. Because sometime we focus too much on ourselves, or sometime we think too much, waiting to do a big great help when actually a small act of love, a small help sometime can change the world.

I remember the story about a man who randomly saying "Hi" to the people that he meet. And one day he said Hi to a man. And they started a conversation. And in short, they became friends. After few years later, the man told him that actually on that day, he was going to end his life. He was executing his plan until the man says Hi to him and started the chat that saved his life.

Indeed, Do not neglect to do good. Even a "Hi" can safe a life.

Deuteronomy 16:17 "Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God that he has given you."

One thing I know, We can give without love, but we cannot love without giving. 

Have you give something to someone today?

Another day full of blessing.
