                  NOT YOURS ALONE, BUT ALSO FOR OTHERS!!!!!!!

 “Somebody needs what you have to give. It may be your time. It may be your listening ear. It may be your arms to encourage. It may be your smile to uplift. Who knows? Maybe just like that little baby, putting your arm around somebody and letting him or her know that you care can help begin to heal that person’s heart. Maybe you can give a rescuing hug or it may be your money.

One thing I had learnt is that many do not want to give what came as a gift unto them. They love holding unto money as if they are the ones that got them by themselves. Remember that every single thing that you and I own today all came as a gift, even the life that we are living right now. We came into this world with nothing and will go back the same way. Why then do we make and continue to acquire wealth as if we will not leave them when the time of our exit comes?

Wealth can simply be described as wind that bloweth. Remember those that do not have today. Your, having today does not make you special, but was just an act of God’s grace and not yours. Therefore, what is money to you? For self, or others? If you can answer this question properly, then your perspective about giving and craving for wealth will change. Money, Money, Money everywhere, but not many do have it.

Note that those that do not have are waiting for you to touch their lives. Romans.8:19KJV “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.”

You and I cannot afford to allow them to wait in vain. Acts.20:33-35 MSG “I’ve never, as you so well, had any taste for wealth or fashion. With these bare hands I took care of my own basic needs and those who worked with me. In everything I’ve done, I have necessary it is to work on behalf of the weak and not exploit them. You’ll not likely go wrong here if you keep remembering that our Master said, you’re far happier giving than getting”.
