Cheerful
giver
Are you a giver
or reciever of something? While, giving do you feel happy, that you gave valuable
gift or sad, that you lost something which was precious to you?
Well...."God
loves a cheerful giver"
How much to give? and, what to give? or, whom to give? and, where
to give? All these questions are to be solved and settled between, the person
who is giving and God ; in one's own heart. Your hands should always have the
tendency to give rather than to take. A giver that delights in giving, gives to
God, and the very first thing is to realize that in giving, we are giving to
God.
It is said, ‘When you’re giving to the poor, don't give so that
you’ll be noticed and recognized and praised by men. God also said "don't let the left hand
know what your right hand is doing "as the heavenly Father. If we do good
works like charity or tithing, it should be done with good intentions. We
shouldn’t do it because we expect anything in return.
Example from the nature: a seed ,if it falls to the ground it
should not be stagnant not growing but only taking water, fertilizer from the
soil rather it should become big so that it can provide shade, to strangers and
shelter for birds and it's fruits can be eaten by all.
Giving is a delight, when we view it as worship. Sharing, caring,
giving to others these are the things which God wants us to do. We too should
try to do these things in our life...It gives happiness satisfaction joy and peace. Try to do it one day and
you'll see the changes in your life...As he has always taught us to be a good
Samaritan.
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for" God loves a cheerful giver".
Selfless giving is a joy to the giver and a blessing to the benefactor. Nice thoughts.
