GIVING GENEROUSLY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Those who are wicked borrows and never repay
The godly are generous givers each and every day
When you share what you have been given
You are acting like Jesus Christ who was risen.
Those who are able to bless others wholeheartedly
They are reflecting God’s heart to others so kindly
Give enthusiastically and you will reap rewards later
It blesses you, your family and your heavenly Father.

There are many things we can generously share or give to others. It doesn’t have to be money. You could share your knowledge, talents, resources, time and whatever it is that God is asking you to bless others with. The problem with the world today is that we don’t go out of our way to give others what we are given by God. We think that we possess these resources on our own and need to hoard it or keep it to ourselves. This is dangerous for our spirits when we only think of ourselves. This is how the enemy wants us to behave. He wants us to be selfish and not give. Sometimes when we give, we expect to be given back what we have shared. This is not giving. It’s a business transaction. The bible says that the godly gives generously.
PRAYER
Lord, give me opportunities to bless others.
REFLECTION
What can you generously share to others that God has given you? What are the benefits of giving?
