“Give, and it shall be given unto you;
good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men
give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be
measured to you again”. Luke 8:38
To give to others the proceeds
from your gifts is the epitome of being outstanding. (Copy and tweet). We learn this attitude first from
God when He gave His only son as a ransom for the sins of the world. When it
comes to being generous, people of the world seem to have gotten it right as opposed
to that of believers. We are the custodians of the true spirit of giving but
many at times find so difficult to release what they have to help others. Your gift was not only given to you
for your benefit but for others as well. (Copy and tweet).
You bring so much significance
to your gift when others benefit from it. (Copy and tweet). There are several avenues by which
you can put your gift to use to enhance the lives of others. The lives of the
patriarchs and all the people in the Bible are gifts to help us find answers to
challenges we might be facing. Imagine if there wasn’t any history of the
patriarchs to be used as a yard stick in our lives? Having the
mind to reach out to others with what you have is something everyone should
endeavour in their own little way to do. As you sow into the lives of
others, it triggers a continuous flow of the blessing of God on your gifts for
growth. (Copy and tweet).
You can never underestimate
what giving back to society does in the lives of the less privileged. We make a
living by what we do but we make a life by what we give. (Copy and tweet). Someone is waiting on your benevolence to ease
a problem they have. Just by mentoring a young person will probably turn them
into someone significant. Whoever mentored Martin Luther King Jnr imparted gems
of greatness and boldness to him that was unequal to any one of his time.
Never keep what you have to yourself to the
detriment of others. Your ability to exercise humanity will churn greatness
from an unknown person who might later on do greater works. (Copy and tweet). Jesus chose twelve disciples and
gave them everything he had before he left for heaven. In the city of Antioch,
they saw the disciples had been with Jesus thus they gave them the name
Christians. As you exercise humanity in the
lives of others, it will be like casting your bread upon many waters to reap
someday. The whole concept of Christianity is to alleviate the struggles people
face. When things are right for you, remember where it all began and give it
back. (Copy and tweet).
Talk About It -
A. To Who or Where do you feel
you need to exercise humanity?
B. Why do you think many find it difficult to exercise humanity?
