Giving is good ...it is a wellspring of blessing for the giver...the Bible says so over and over again - see:It is more blessed to give than to receive." (Acts 20:35)
Albert Einstein said: “The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving.”
Ever noticed that the hand of the giver is usually above?
Now that doesn't mean that you are superior to those you give to...it just means that agree with John D. Rockefeller Jr. who advised: "Think of giving not as a duty but as a privilege."
Just think about the privilege Abraham had when God said this to him in Genesis 12:2 - "And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others]." (Amplified Bible)
Now to be a blessing, you need to be blessed...simple you can't give what you don't have.
The minute you step to the plate and decide to be a channel of blessing, God will pass blessings to others through you and you will unavoidably enjoy them too. Have you ever seen a pipe that supplies water or oil that is not wet?
Start giving…and get wet & soaked in God’s bountiful blessings!!!
