Gift of giving

Acts Mod Posts: 3346 **5/13/17 11:04 am**

I have a relative who has the gift of giving. I remember when he could not buy groceries.

He began studying about giving. Before long he boss/friend gave him a business.

This business started growing almost over night. Now he lives in a home that is worth about 400k (My estiment). He and his wife each drives a truck that cost over 50k.

He gives more than anyone I know. They gave at least 2 vehicles within the last 3 months. Plus they pay for the care of His sister. He never mentions his giving. I know of this only because I know him well enough in fact he gave one of the vehicles to us this week.

I know some will react negatively to this post but that will not change the fact that "whatsoever a man does that will he reap".

I realize this speaks about spiritual matters, I believe it last speaks about physical matters.

I have another friend who gave an older vehicle. Later someone gave them an almost a new Toyota.

Btw I am not a a fan of TV preachers who are always promising blessings. But I know for a fact that sowing and reaping is for real. My wife and are asking the Lord to show us a good place to sow some seed.

Please don't bother sending me your address. Smile

For the record I now have a card reader. Very Happy

I was taught to give. My dad said the big smile on the face of the person who really needed something was his reward. But we never lacked for anything. My mama was a giver to missions. I love to give. I have never given to get. I do believe when you give you will be blessed.

For a high school dropout who was taught to give, we have more than we have ever had. I believe in exactly what you have posted. I do know it is a blessing to give.

I also think you will NEVER be successful, if you actually 'Give to GET'! Shocked

Sometimes we think people with the gift of giving have to be wealthy. But my brother told me about a man he met at a Christian conference who could fix cars. He fixed up old junkers and gave them away to brothers and sisters in Christ who needed them. People found out about it, and they'd give him their old cars. He had cars in his yard he was working on and he kept fixing them and giving them away, without becoming wealthy himself.
