The Joy Of Giving

“I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service.

I served and I saw that service is joy.” – Kahlil Gibran

If you want to overcome sorrow of any kind, practice the art of giving. When you have a heart to give and to brighten someone’s day, your giving will return to you. “You reap what you sow”, is not just something people say. It is a biblical truth.

Starting today, find some thing or some service that you can give to someone else. Ask God to help you identify a need and take action. Even something as small as making a phone call to say, “I’m thinking of you today and I love you”, will give you as much joy as it will give the receiver.

Be sure to give with your heart, not just your hand, and that in itself will be joy enough.

Want more joy? Give.
