LIVING TO GIVE; GIVING TO LIVE
By DIGC 14 November 2019
Riches without outreach is
wretchedness. Prosperity without generosity is poverty.
SCRIPTURE: Give to everyone who asks
you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Luke 6:30
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Riches without outreach is wretchedness. Prosperity
without generosity is poverty.
Giving is an act of releasing something to someone without the expectation
of a pay back. This is the release of your love, potentials, time, resources
etc. to benefit humanity and glorify Divinity.
One of the major essences of living is giving. A fundamental sign of love
is also giving (John 3:16).
The truth is, giving is living; you have not started living until you have
started giving. That is to say, we live to give and we give to live. Giving and
living are intertwined. And to give it despite the need for it is called sacrifice.
To exist without anyone benefiting from your life is a waste of existence.
A story was told of a wealthy man who died and while his remains was being
buried, a mad man shouted “Hold on! Do not bury him without his cars, and
houses; bury them all with him.” It is possible that while the rich man was
alive, no one benefited from his wealth.
Beloved, riches without outreach is wretchedness. Prosperity without
generosity is poverty. It doesn’t matter how wealthy you are, if your wealth is
not wiping tears from the faces of the less privileged, you are a poor man.
Until you live to give, it is possible your existence on earth is a waste.
REMEMBER THIS: Riches without outreach is wretchedness. Prosperity without
generosity is poverty.
