You Cannot Outgive God...

I am really amazed with God. Yesterday, I got to know that a particular person had a financial need. Claudia and I decided to bless this person with a certain amount of money. We care for and love this person and thus we want to be a blessing. Like we have always said, "We are blessed to be a blessing".

In fact, I was quite excited to give as I took my lunch hour to drive to a mall (I usually do not travel under the hot Singapore afternoon sun for lunch). I went for lunch as well as to the Automatic Teller Machine to get the cash. Claudia and I were both really happy to give to this person.

Then on that particular evening, we were pleasantly surprised when we were given a brand new DVD player of the latest model. It costs double of what we give to the person. The DVD player has the whole works (which most of them I will never know how to use).

Don't get me wrong; we did not give to get. That's not true giving. We simply give to bless but we just cannot outgive God!

God blesses us when we give out of a pure motive. God may bless us in a material way or otherwise. In fact, the joy of being able to give is a reward by itself.

To reap, we must first sow!
