The True Blessing is to the Giver

My wife made a point during a recent conversation. Anyone who has to live with restrictions of any kind may take comfort. Maybe what Jesus meant when he said it is more blessed to give to receive is that the giver receives great joy in being able to give.

The True Blessing is to the Giver

Jesus said it is more blessed to give than receive

Understand this for I truly believe

That what he meant was give to your brother or charity

Brings more blessings to you for your generosity

To give to others gives the donor a sense of pride

Giving meaning to self for each gift you provide

It may be material things or it may be simple forgiveness

It may be in the form of friendship, tolerance or simple kindness

In reality many times the gift given is outweighed by the generosity

The offering may be understanding, mercy or any form of consideration might be

Understanding a brothers pain and relating with the sorrow he feels

It could be simply listening and identifying with his sad ordeal

These are all ways to give of yourself to sisters or brothers

These gifts give to you what it is that you give to others

Lew,

Well said. I think that's why God gave us two ears and one mouth.
"It could be simply listening and identifying with his sad ordeal"
Beautiful sentiment.

Good message in this, Lew; well done! I love the animated angel graphic; I was an angel in a church play last week! :)

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

Over 60 people accepted Christ as their Saviour as a result of this play! :D
