We live in a world where most people give with the expectation of receiving something in return. Apostle Paul in  Acts 20: 36b says "... And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.”  (NKJV).  I encourage you to make every effort go out of your way to give if only a smile, a warm good morning, afternoon or good evening with a heart of gratitude and thanksgiving, knowing that you are blessed to be a blessing.  The mere fact that you are in a position to give is a blessing.

The words of Jesus is certainly noteworthy of repeating "... ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.” .  So, banish, perish the world's teaching on giving and the motive for which you give. Adopt and put into practice what Jesus taught.  

You are blessed when you freely give (release) with a sincere and grateful heart . As a result of your obedience to Him you will received the blessing that only Jesus can give when you lease expect. Hallelujah!!

Grace,

From my heart to yours'
