THE ACT OF GIVING
Giving is one of the biggest life-hacks of all time. It is one of God's blessings not dependent on your level of holiness.
So simple yet so hard because the default human nature is to think of self and not of the next person.
Giving doesn't always mean money. It could be advice, or your prayers to someone in need or even your time to just listen and console them for the pain they feel.
Cast your bread upon the Waters, give your time, give resources, hire someone, teach someone, pray for someone. It is difficult to reach out to everyone but when you help one person, they'll likely be inspired to help another.
“Some people spend their money freely and still grow richer. Others are cautious, and yet grow poorer. Be generous, and you will be prosperous. Help others, and you will be helped.â€
â€â€
Proverbs‬ â€11:24-25‬ â€GNB
We all need someone to lean on. Many want to receive but just a few are willing to give.
It doesn't need to be money, there's nothing as precious as a heart that cares and is willing to listen, and drop a word of prayer to God daily on your behalf. It goes a long way to help.
However, if you have resources and there's a need to give, don't hesitate in doing so.
They say readers are leaders, but I also add that givers are leaders. Giving open doors that we least expect to have access to.
