Devotional Thoughts
A minister once wrote a wealthy
businessman requesting a sub
scription to a worthy charity. A
refusal came by return mail con
cluding, “As far as I can see, this
Christian business is just one
give, give, give.” The minister
later replied, “I wish to thank you
for the best definition of the
Christian life I have yet heard.”
Truly, one of the greatest state
ments made by Christ is recorded
for us in Acts 20:35 “. . . it is
more blessed to give than to re
ceive.” Deep within the heart
of a Christian, if he has develop
ed as God intended, is the keen
desire to give, to share. How
meaningless and flat is a life
wrapped up in its own needs, de
sires and greeds! How full and
meaningful becomes this life when
made so aware of the needs of
others its own are forgotten.
What can we give — we who
have been given so much and who
have accepted Christ, God’s per
fect gift to the world? We can
give of our time and speech to
those who have been neglected
and are lonely. We can give of
our talents to those efforts that
are striving to make this a bet
ter world in which to live—name
ly, the Church. We can give the
gospel to those who know it not.
We can give of our money.
But with all our giving we will
always receive much more in re
turn than we can possibly give.
“What, giving again?” I asked
in dismay.
“And must I keep giving and
9??
giving away
“Oh, no,” said the angel, look
ing me through,
“Just keep giving til the Master
stops giving to you.”
