Are You a Giver or a Taker?
“There is one who scatters, yet increases more. And there is one who withholds more than is right but it leads to poverty. The generous soul will be made rich and he who waters will also be watered himself.” Proverbs 11: 24 – 25
Are you a Giver or a Taker?
So what’s your answer?… Are you a GIVER or a TAKER?
What do you say?
Yes, I know the politically correct answer is to say, “I’m a giver!”
But if we’re really truthful, most of us are Takers!
We’ve all heard the cliché, “It’s better to give than to receive.” And yet, most people are Takers. Why is this?
As I reflect on this question, I believe it’s because most people do not come from a space of abundance. They do not understand the power of God’s promises for their lives.
I know because I’ve been there. There have been times in my life when I have not come from a space of abundance but rather, from a space of scarcity.
Have you ever asked yourself these questions…“How am I going to pay all my bills?”… “Where did all my money go?”… “Why does there seem to never be enough?”
God’s way and the world’s way are often in conflict. Read the above scripture again and reflect on what it is communicating to you.
Many people think that by holding onto their money, they are being smart. But God’s word states, “The generous soul will be made rich…”
I encourage you to trust God’s word and live your life from a space of abundance where you bless others with your prayers, time, talents, finances, words and actions.
When you give to others, you truly do receive so much more in return.
Questions of Reflection
How would you live your life if you knew your money would never run out?
Do you really appreciate ALL that you have right now in your life (i.e. your health, your creativity, your relationships)?
