Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
Giving is so rewarding, whether it’s giving of our time, giving of our money, or giving of material things, etc. This past week and a half has been a crucial time of giving for me.
My Dad was having trouble with chest pains and went to see a heart specialist. He just barely made it in, only to have them take him out by ambulance to bring him to the Emergency room, and then finding out he needed three way bypass heart surgery. My dad is 80 years old.
I was so thankful that I could be there and walk through it with him and be there for my Mom. Everything that I had to get done on my schedule came to a screeching halt. It was my time to give to them.
At times I was exhausted. I’d hold back my emotions and tears just to be strong for them. Even though I was scared and my legs were ready to crumple beneath me from the different reports the doctor would give us.
It was not about me. It was about putting myself and my feelings aside to help someone else get through a tough time in their life.
Giving of our time means so much to people, and through it they see how much we care.
It is a time to let others see God’s love and strength work through us. Giving is a sacrifice, but a very rewarding one at that.
Give and it will be given to you.
