Selfishness is an innate vice all human beings have. Some overcome it and some don't. Giving or generousity superceeds selfishness. It's good to be benevolent, its positive to be a giver.
Giving to benefit another person in a positive way is one of the laws of nature and life. The true giver will not be forsaken neither will he be without for too long.
Giving is noble, positive and good. Giving is a godly nature. God is a giver! For God has given us all things to enjoy- the SUNLIGHT that warms our bodies and dry our clothes, and also keeps our plants healthy and is a source of electricity as a solar source. He has given us the MOON which beautifies the heavens above us, gives us a knowledge of times and seasons and also lights the darkness of the night for us. He has given us the STARS which are the diamonds of heaven and a beauty to behold, loaded with exclusive, sacred , and vital information about you and i. God has also given YOU to this generation. He has loaded you with potential and abilities which you are meant to release to the world and thereby be a blessing. You are somebodys hero, you are the answer to somebodys prayer.
He has given us fresh air, food to eat, water to drink, clothes to wear, thinking minds and gives us each day which is an opportunity to get it right. God has blessed man with the things that aren't always visible too, things like mercy, grace, favour, angelic presence and protection, His Spirit, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, might, internal strength, good health, and the more visible blessings like spouses, children, clothes and the list goes on.
Every man has what it takes to have a giving nature. ''Withold not good from your fellow man when it is in your power to do so''
It's a choice we have to make, will you let the giver in you emerge or will you let will you let the selfish nature in you have its way.
Everything God controls, gives. Does He control your life?
Namaste my brother, my wife just wrote a blog on this very subject. I believe every single action is a gift. We gift each other when we don't even realise it. Let me give you an example.
ReplyDeleteA man walks down a dark alley, another man jumps out of the hidden recesses and stabs his brother fatally with a knife. Many would not see it as both men exchanging gifts but that is exactly what they are doing. We gift each other by giving each other the experiences fatefully determined by the wisdom of our soul.
In all moments of manifest reality, God dances with God eternally in the NOW moment. NO EXCEPTIONS!
In Lak, ech, my brother, truth beyond books...
