The Gift of Giving

Each one gives as he proposed in his heart: not with sadness, nor out of necessity, because God loves the joyful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that, having always in all things all that is sufficient, you may abound for every good work
2 Corinthians 9: 7-9

We always listen to older people talking to us saying ... What comes out of you, one day will come back.

The scriptures teach us that this principle is also fundamental in our lives as followers of Christ. The promise is clear, great will be the rewards of those who unceremoniously learn to give. They will receive: "All grace", "all enough", "all good works".

When we humbly and heartfully give what we have, our money, our skills, our time, the learning we have in some area of our lives to the people around us, we glorify God and in turn we can witness his In the book of Proverbs 19:17 it teaches us "to the LORD he who lends to the poor, and the good he has done, will repay him again."

What we consider as irreplaceable treasures of our lives, today could be of great help to someone we know: an ear that knows how to listen, a helping hand, a true friendship. When we give back to others what God has given us without conditions, we honor Him, in this way we help a family member, friend or brother in the Faith and our life will be greatly blessed.

The generous soul will be prospered; And he who satiates, he too will be satiated
Proverbs 11:25
