GIVING

Giving is the only way of having a satisfying life. When you stop giving, you stop growing. The attitude of giving helps you more then the one who receives the gift. Giving is from the heart of God. God gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. The Cross is the ultimate symbol of giving. When you view the Cross you view a life of giving. The Cross applied to yourself will cancel out self and you will think of the other. The Cross is the only solution to a life of holiness. Without the Cross there is no way of escape from a sin filled life. Many do not appreciate this and think they can live without the Cross. If the Cross was a useless death then we are all condemned to death. It is because of the Cross that I have access to the Almighty. Nothing can replace the Cross. Therefore let the Cross be always before you and the world behind you. In this way you will always be available to God to serve others.
