Why Giving Works!

It’s interesting how babies are  born “selfish”. I mean no one teaches a newborn to scream for food or cry when they’re tired. Its simply a matter of life. The baby isn’t thinking about the tired parents or the weary older siblings. They want what they want, when they want it. As an adult, its so easy to remain juvenile by being selfish and self-centered. Who doesn’t want the world to revolve around them?  The challenge with living selfishly is that it’s an empty existence.  Giving is all about releasing what “I” want for the sake of others. It always works 100% of the time. When you give your money, your time, your heart or your love to someone, it’s a transaction that defies the universe. You force yourself to deny your own selfish, self centered needs.   Giving is always the best road to travel. It simply works.

I remember as a child growing up; Christmas was the one day we lived for. Even as a young adult I was always wondering what, how, and who was going to give me something. Therefore, when I became a Christian; I never think about it, nor does it cross my mine. what I’m going to get from anyone. I fine myself always thinking about how and what can I give to someone. Reason, It makes me happy to see that I have made someone else happy. This is what it’s all about however, we can never out give God. And this is what makes me happy, knowing I have the creator of all things with me. Who has everything.
