Which End Are You?

"It is more blessed to give than to receive," says the Lord Jesus in the book of Acts 20:35

Even though that's exactly what is contain in God's promises to us about giving, most of us still struggled to give- why?

The ability to give is the source of God's gifting in the power of the Holy Spirit. We cannot give just because we wanted to give. We must always remember to ask the Holy Spirit to help us to give- not only to give but to give with unconditional love- because that's how God wanted us to; to give with love.

We failed to give or give with resentment because each time when we are approached to care and provide for a need, we reacted with antipathy. We failed to pray and ask God to help us to accomplish the propose request. Afterall, the act of giving belongs to the Lord and it is His work to care and provide for everybody. We failed in our attempt to give because we made our own decisions to decline the request. The decisions to turn down a request to fulfill a need doesn't originate from the Lord who loves us at the cross

Our human ways, if independant and without the intervention of God is considered evil. The only way to give successfully and victoriously is to involve God in the giving because without God in His son, Jesus to aid us, we cannot give for the honor and glory of His Glorious Name.

Rememeber it is more blessed to give than to receive- if our Lord has blessed you to be a giver, give kindly and generously with love- God can change that destiny!
