Be the Blessing!

I love it when I can make someone's day. I enjoy those times when I can participate in surprising someone or contributing a special gift to someone. I just love seeing someone's face light up with joy and knowing that I had something to do with it. They don't even have to know I was involved.

When you give, you are imitating your Heavenly Father. God has always been a generous giver. From blessings in many forms to the Ultimate Gift of sending His dear Son as a sacrifice for our salvation, God is always seeking out the best ways to give to His beloved children.

In the same way, we should constantly be searching for opportunities to give and be a blessing. We should see giving as a joy and not a burden or inconvenience. We should recognize it as another facet of displaying our faith.

Think about those times when someone went out of their way to bless you. Remember how special you felt when someone surprised you out of the blue. That feeling is too good to horde all to yourself! Take some time to spread the love around!

As you give unto others, God sees what you are doing and will make sure that you are blessed in return. As you give unselfishly, God will take care of your needs and desires. Like the saying says: A closed hand cannot receive. When you open your hand to give to someone else, you give yourself the opportunity to be blessed as well.

Let's be a blessing to someone today!

Word of the Day: ...remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35b
