Living in Giving

I long to live a life of giving. Where giving is a way of life. Where giving is not an alternative, but a certainty. Where giving is not a struggle, but a joy. Is that even possible? It has to be. God is indeed a Giver, now if we are made in his likeness, must not giving be an essence of God in us? Or have the thoughts " I don't have any money, I can't give" replaced the thought, "I don't have any money, but what I do have I will give" ? I would like to believe there is a giver in all of us. We all have something to give. A smile, a helping hand, a listening ear, a comforting hug, a rescuing prayer, a song of joy, a word of encouragement, a cup of sugar or the most important, the Living Water that is in us, even if we have nothing else to give.Giving is not just about money, it's a way of life, where unselfishnes is replaced by joy of blessing with what you have been blessed. I long to see "me" becoming "you" and "mine" becoming "yours". I long to learn the forgotten art of giving...that is still taught today by the Master of Living in Giving.

He who didn't spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things? Rom 8:32

Thanks for blessing us with this piece. Pastor Enevald has also been speaking a lot recently about giving your smile. I think that's a good place to start. Everyone has one, every smile can be a great encouragement.
