WITH LOVE...
"And though i bestow all my goods to feed the poor and though i give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing".
1Corinthians.13:3
Giving sometimes isn't a display of love.As being nice and charitable isn't too. Whenever we give or render an assistance to someone,it isn't really the action that matters but the motive, "are you doing it out of love?". No matter how great our show of kindness is, or no matter the amount of help we have rendered in gifts or kind,the right motive remains doing it out of love. It is not everyone that is nice to you that really loves you. Some people don't give you gifts out of love, they do so to forestall their own favour later in the future. If we take our time to analyze most of our show of kindness,we'll find that it's directed towards this end.Which makes it unacceptable in the sight of God.
Today is Valentines day and we all celebrate love. We express our love in different ways to people who are dear to our hearts. Relationships of all kinds thrive on the principle of "giving love and getting life back" in return. So if you must show love today, please do it with the right motive. Some people are givers who aren't recognized by God. God Himself is love, so He knows when it's genuine. The bible says in 1Samuel 2:3b;
..."our God is a God of knowledge and by Him actions are weighed".When we give out of love, we do so without expecting anything in return.That's when we give to people who can hardly pay us back.
The same principle applies when we give to God. Giving to God out of love make it worthwhile and acceptable. That's the only reason we don't hold God to ransome whenever we experience challenges and problems. It helps us to maintain an attitude of gratitude even in times of scarcity. So if you want to be sure of an accepted offering, give it out of love. Nothing done with love can ever be wrong, because love itself cannot be wronged.
Happy Valentines Day!!!!
