Giving


What does it mean to give? . Well according to the dictionary Giving means to freely transfer, provide or supply something to an individual or a group of people, or an organization.
Giving is amazing and is something we should all partake in as christians and as humans. Some of us were born with a silver spoon meaning you were born into a rich family, not everyone has that opportunity and thats why we need to give to others and love each other equally.
When you give, you're not just helping but God will reward you and it'll be more than what you gave. During christmas, i went to a children's hospital to give and also just play with them and see how everything was going, thats how i was able to take that beautiful picture with that amazing young lady over there. I donated some items to this hospital, i got to speak to the staff and the woman who runs the hospital she was so amazing and sweet. I asked if i could go and see the children, i climbed the stairs and my uncle had so much fear in him but i and my sister conquered and entered the room. Once i entered, i thought i was going to cry but i didn't i was strong. These children were smiling, they were so happy and i was able to play with them. Love is all they need, show them love don't discriminate them.
I didn't even think about what i gave anymore, i just wanted to play with them and learn from them. i was so grateful and thankful to God for everything he has done for me and my family.
Giving goes a long way, you never know what someone is going through giving is not just about giving someone who is need, or someone who asks for something. Its about helping your friends too, sometimes your friend might be in a tight financial situation and may need your help. DONT laugh at them, or make fun of them, or ask their story you don't need to know all of that. All you need to do is just give them if you have, and if you don't be there for them. Many of us forget the reason for giving and become too proud. Don't forget even if you have all the degrees in the world, and you have the biggest company ever without giving and God  you are nothing. All of that can become nothing in a second, you never know tomorrow. Don't make fun of people if they don't have,  nobody knows tomorrow.
Now Giving in church, many students think they should be exempted from tithes and offering. Why? some of us give the excuse that you're not working, its your parents money and all that. This doesn't matter, you should still give and it will all come back to you. Give what you have, even if its a dollar nothing is to small at least show that you are interested in giving. Proverbs 3:27 says "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,when it is in your power to do it" Give guys its not only rewarding but theres a feeling you get knowing you are part of the change to someones life and to society.

  1. True words! The other amazing part of giving is that I've also learnt is that by doing so, you enrol yourself to handle God's business and in turn, He automatically takes care of you and everything that concerns you.
