It's Better to Give than to Receive
With the holiday season gearing up, I find myself pondering this saying. Have you ever really given thought to the expression, it's better to give, than to receive? I was thinking about that today and the interesting thing about this concept is that a lot of people say they believe this philosphy, but likely respond in agreement because we've been conditioned that it's the right thing to say.
What's interesting about it is that people who are always giving are coming from a position of abundance (after all, they have something to give), whereas people who are always receiving are coming from a position of lack.
When you think of it that way, being the giver certainly seems to be the more desirable place to be.
I urge everyone who is reading this to be a cheerful giver over the holidays (if not all year-round). Scan that $5 donation for the food bank at the grocery check out. Stuff a bill or two in the Salvation Army bucket. Keep your eyes open for opportunities to bless those in need. What a privilege it is to be in a position of abundance!
I firmly believe that when you give, you will receive abundantly more so that you can continue to touch the lives of those you come into contact with. Plus, God says so.
