Don't just get, give la...

Ps. Kenneth from Acts church in Subang ever said this, "You don't find hapiness in getting, getting, getting... But you always find joy, fulfillment, breakthrough, even FREEDOM in giving." 
This is true indeed... As for myself, its easy to have the feeling of getting, getting, getting for MYSELF (in the past). But since Christ came into the picture of my life, everything changed. Giving becomes a norm for me. Giving doesn't mean I'm giving up my money if someone casually asked me for it. Giving can be in a vast forms. Listening attentively to someone also means giving, in a way that you are giving your time to listen to that person. Sharing is also a type of giving.
However, giving may also means to give away what you have if the other person seriously needed it. Recently I've been cleaning up my room and I've found out that there's a lottttt of clothes in my closet. SO many that it literally can't fit into my closet. Many of these clothes are still in good form but instantly, my thinking gets to - "Other people's closet might be empty... Some may have only few clothings... Some may not even afford to buy it..." So I give away the clothes and pass it on to the needy and even the younger generations.
Giving advise is also a form of giving. An advise is most of the time what a person needs. Most people are dying to hear a sensible, wise, right advise and they would go for counsellor, phyciatrist, etc... But here's the good news for believers: God is giving us advises so that we may able to advise to others. THOSE advises are God's wisdom which can be trusted and be passed on from one to another.

This post sums up what's going on in my life currently now. I feel like my life does not belong to me anymore. It belongs to Him (doesn't mean I have to give up my life physically, okay....?) and now its about living for Him. It may sound dull for you but it sounds great for me. Why? Because, why not live for Him? I can think of many reasons but the ultimate one is because - He already gave up His life for me on the cross! How great is that? =D

In short, Jesus showed me whats it really mean to give, which is so that others can have life and life abundantly. ^_^
