According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, giving can be defined as the act of handing over or providing something to a person or persons. Although the word “give” is used in a wider spectrum and a variety of contexts, in this case it is denoted to mean the definition above.
As a single mother, there are in depth issues that you have tackled and still remain a problem. Not until you take the bull by the horn, and say to yourself, “this has got to stop”, and take responsibility for your mistakes, the truth is, you will never rise above your limitations and become all that God wants you to be. One very profound way that I have discovered to healing and restoration as a single mum is giving. Giving is a simple spiritual principle that triggers the abundant blessings of the Almighty God. And when I talk about giving, I’m not only referring to it in monetary terms alone. You can give of your time and talents to the service of God and humanity; you can give encouragement to someone who is hurting; being kind and compassionate to your neighbor h giving. And one thing we all should know is that, “it is more blessed to give than receive”. Therefore, there are actual blessings that erupt in your life when you give. The Bible says, ‘Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice. He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor’. (Psalm 112:5-9). From this passage of scripture, it is clearly seen, that for you to experience the outright blessings of God, you have to be an ardent giver. One of the blessings you receive when you give is healing. Healing simply means restoration. This means that whatever you lost in the past is restored back to you even in a greater measure. The more you give of your money, time, love, talents, encouragement, compassion, kindness etc., the more you get of the things you give. As time goes on, you find that you’re no longer hurting from the pain that you once knew. You have joy unspeakable, and that joy increases as your heart and emotions receive the healing of the Almighty God. Eventually, you’re able to step out of a world of chaos and uncertainty to fulfilling your destiny. Giving has helped me heal faster than I could ever have imagined. Down trodden in pain and uncertainty, I never envisaged that the simple act of giving to God, His work, charity; my neighbors in need; encouraging the lost, and showing kindness and compassion, was all I needed to do to get free. The Bible says again, ‘ A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor and he who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done’. The reward could be in any form; it could be financially, materially; physical and emotional healing, and every other good thing that will make you whole, and cause you to bask in the will of God, as you fulfill your purpose here on earth. Giving is life! It prolongs your life. Have you ever wondered why it’s called the Dead Sea? Because this great ocean doesn’t have tributaries. Other rivers flow into it, but it doesn’t give or flow into other water bodies. Thus, it is named the Dead Sea. Likewise, we as human beings bubble with life and increase when we are generous, but we become impoverished in every sense of the word when we don’t cultivate a lifestyle of giving. Be generous with your life!
