When Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all His glory. Colossians 3:4
Watching our two boys grow up is such a blessing. When I see our oldest son bickering about having to share something with his little brother, it reminds me of how possessive of my toys I once was with my little sister when we were both children. Ever since I can remember, our parents worked hard to teach us the value of sharing with each other...
For most of us, as grown adults, sharing is still a hard concept for many of us to understand. I believe it is due to our fallen and sinful nature that we prefer to receive rather than to give and our thirst to accumulate rather than relinquish.
As followers of Christ, we are called to share everything-our love, time, faith, resources, talents, possessions, and money with others. People who share and give are promised the benefits of being generous, which are far greater than the fleeting moments of receiving.
When you realize how much God has shared and given to you, it's hard not to want to go and give and share with others in return.
This Thanksgiving/Christmas season, think of what you have that you can generously share with others...
