Have you
had your Joy Juice today? Give some away;
you might be surprised at how your personal supply multiplies as you generously
share!
Some of the
most giving people I know are not necessarily those who are wealthy. They are
those who freely give of their time, their compassion, their wisdom and
resources.
Many years ago I had the privilege of knowing
an elderly gentleman who would not let a day go past without giving something
away. He’d cut flowers from his yard and
take to someone to brighten their day. From
his garden, he would gather vegetables and give to his friends and
neighbors. His workshop was a place of
joy and generosity for he was always thinking of things he could make &
share with others. He’d bake bread in
his tiny kitchen… and give it away.
If someone
went to visit him and take him something, he’d always send them home with a
gift, as well. I can remember him
vividly saying, “Honey, don’t you know that you can’t ever give anything
away! It always comes back to you
multiplied.”
This wise
man had learned from experience the truth of scripture. 2 Corinthians 9:6 teaches: “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap
sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.”
Let’s look
for ways each day to sow generously! It’s a guaranteed way to multiply your joy! It’s a rewarding cycle…when you give, you
receive joy. And when you receive joy, you will be inspired to give again.
Be a giver of God’s love and joy!
