In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
Acts 20:35
Yes it is true. Giving is beautiful. But I have to tell you that I run into people all the time that do not know how to receive.
I used to be one of them.
We were raised under strict parameters. Give, give, give. And we should. But, when you don't allow people to give to you, you rob them of the chance to be kind.
Are you the only one that can be kind? Or should others have that opportunity as well?
The next time someone wants to be nice to you, let them. Say thank you. Accept the gift.
The gift that they give you will motivate you to continue to give to others. When you are full, then you want to reach out to others.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
