As I see Jesus’ life, He lead a life for others not for himself. He needed no one but the people needed Him. He gave in secret and prayed in secret with His Father.
Yesterday was what the world called “Giving Tuesday” and I thought about this and remembered this Greek word “Eucharisteo” meaning “I give thanks”.
I wondered how I could give back to others and meet the needs of my brothers and sisters.
First I think this what giving is not.
It’s not about getting the credit or a pat on the back.
It’s not begrudgingly giving because it wasn’t your idea.
Giving is closely tied to love and how we love people is how they will see Jesus.
Jesus meets our needs and as His people we can meet others where they are too.
Giving is loving people and meeting their needs. We honor God by honoring our family, church, friends and neighbors. Nurturing a relationship with them, loving them and understanding their needs.
What is the need? Immediate or just because?
This may be the worlds day to “give back” but everyday in the Kingdom of God is a day to “give thanks and “give back!”
Bless you friends!
