Giving Gifts

What has God given you? What can you share with someone else, without condition, without any strings attached? When you give a gift you give it out of what you have. Sometimes these gifts are physical resources and sometimes they are time or just our presence. Let’s give many gifts. Let’s share with one another. Let’s give and expect nothing in return. Freely as you have received, freely give.

Besides just being a good way of life, this kind of giving brings incredible joy. When you are experiencing God in ways like “Throwing Parties” and “Telling Stories”, what a wealth of things to share! In the words of the great theologians U2 “You’ve got to give it away!” The only way to really keep something is to give it away.
