The Gift of Self...................

"Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you". Luke 6:38

Why don't we just give? In fact, let's just give without an expectation of getting something in return. People don't give because they believe that they have nothing to offer. Our society thinks of giving in terms of money. In reality we have so much to offer. We can give our love, our time, our services, our talents and ourselves.There are those who will abuse it but do not let anything stop you. Be a giver. Christ is our example and He was the ultimate giver. He gave His life. What a gift!

Are you a parent who help your children with their homework daily, but your next door neighbors don't know how to read or write? Then invite their kids over and tutor their children along with yours. Are you a person with distinguished business sense? Then help your friends who seem to fail at every business venture. Are you a married couple who have had success in keeping the peace in your marriage? Then help your friends who are struggling with their relationships. You always have what it takes to give of yourself. For in every situation, there is something valuable and positive that you can offer.

Do you have a family? Then invite a few single friends over to dinner after church instead of talking behind their back. Your invitation may keep them from making a mistake. The best gift you can give is to give of yourself. Your time, your attention, your love and caring are far more valuable than anything that could be wrapped up in a brightly colored box with a bow on top.. When you give of yourself you discover how very effective you can be. When you give of yourself someone else receives great benefit, and so do you.

I am sure you would find something to give, if you try hard enough. I am sure your help will be appreciated. The gift of "self' is the best gift one can ever give or receive... God Himself has given us the gift of life through His son Jesus Christ.

God is the ultimate Giver. He expects nothing less than for us to follow His example. I challenge you to give away something every day of your life. You may think you won’t have anything left if you do that, but if you give as the Lord leads you to do, soon you will receive so much that you will have to figure out where to put it all. God gives you bread to eat and seed to sow (See 2 Corinthians 9:10). Some things that God sends your way are given as seed for you to sow into the lives of others. Ask God to show you what He wants you to give away. Step out today, and look for a way to give. God will bless and prosper you as promised.

Praise the Lord!
