Giving :)

How's fourth week of school everyone?

i hope you're doing well. :)

wanted to share this with all of you earlier, but had to really take time and find Bible verses.

i did not have to, as coincidentally my quiet time for yesterday was about what i wanted to share too. :)

have you ever dreamt to be rich, to own everything in this world? maybe not that big of a dream, but dream to make more money day by day, praying that the stock market would go up and make millions on that day too?

i had dreamt to own a bungalow, and praying hard that i would marry a rich husband, as i would not need to work.

foolishness back then.

*1 Timothy 6 : 6-10

*People who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. (verse 9)

as i grew, parents thought me to set aside $$ to be given away after we receive our red packets during CNY.

and that's what i wouldn't mind doing, after all, think about it : you and i are so blessed to be able to read this out on a computer screen, have a roof to live under, etc etc.

compare the condition of us and the people suffering in Haiti.

don't you want to be a blessing to them?

and what about the people living in poverty in India and many other parts of the world?

i suggest the most appropriate way : giving.

you can give to missions like Barnabas Aid or Malaysian Care or if your church practice this, then join! (there are many. just mentioning few. it doesn't have to be that.)

maybe when you grow up later, you might want to consider missions work? ;)

He also says this in His Word :

2 Corinthians 9:7

So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

Acts 20 : 35 b

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

so, let's make a difference for Him.

be a blessing to others as you're blessed.

CNY is in 3 weeks. share what you've received.

remember : you can never take whatever you have right now to the grave!

Life is not measured by how much we own. (Luke 12 : 15)

have a great week at school! :)

God bless.

Love,

Kit May.
