Giving

The secret of a real and vibrant life is NOT to be found in what you can hoard, but in the LOVE you are willing to share.

To be loved by others you first have to give freely and unconditionally of yourself and your love.

To be a blessed person you first have to become a blessing, then you are elevated to the status of "giver"! This is what CHRIST HIMSELF came to teach us: HE gave HIMSELF - even in death!

Become willing to listen and not only to speak, to share friendship without always expecting others to give first.

Allow the joy of the indwelling Holy Spirit of CHRIST to flow through you to others by expressing goodwill, sympathy and condsideration.

This stream of joy will flow back to you like an electrical current.

Loving LORD JESUS, when my thoughts become too much to bear, YOUR consolation refreshes my heart.

I come to lay my sorrow and grief in FAITH at the foot of YOUR cross, in quiet trust that YOU will comfort me.

I thank you for that. Amen
