Holding on to “giving…”

How many times have we let a “good thing” go by without doing anything? Sometimes, God speaks in that “still small voice” to do something good to someone, and we ignore that voice.

The Word of God teaches us to “withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.” (Proverbs 3:27-28) That’s what I call a “stingy Christian.” I think that at one time or another, we have ignored the poor or ignored a real need and tried to put it off until later… but “later” is too late.

Let’s listen with our hearts and not just our ears. Our heart never misses a word. Some people may say, “Well, I didn’t give because I don’t know what he or she will do with the money.” That’s an excuse! Just give it in love and let God sort things out. Don’t let your blessing to give pass you by.

Have a great day!
