“Every Generous Act of Giving”
“Every Generous Act of Giving” James 1:16-18: . . .“Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. . .” I went to bed last night at 10:00 p.m. totally exhausted. I had given all of my energy to helping Dustin. I will spend today cooking and feeding people, and tonight will go to bed totally exhausted. For me the exhaustion is the reward of giving my life away without expecting anything in return. It is in the giving that we truly receive. There is a man who is sixty six has a hard time with me in my “living in the moment”. He is always planning, worrying about his finances, the future–none of which he can do very little about. For me it is in the moment that life is, and future flows from that moment. I do not know what the future is, accept that I am in God’s hands regardless, but in living in the moment I am preparing for that future. The older I get the mored I see that it is in the giving that one finds Jesus, and in the giving one finds ones self. Deo Gratias! Thanks be to God!
