CONSIDER the Bible
verse shared in the last post. Plan your life to “give more to others” – and
others does not mean people you know, and who can give back to you.
Many in this world
plan to accumulate material things and be known as the “big man” or “big
woman”, or to be famous.
There is nothing
wrong in being rich or being famous – but they are not the ends to a good
life. (Remember King Solomon’s wish as told in the Bible? He did not choose,
fame, power or honour.)
Giving is a way that
we show that we appreciate life – the people, the opportunities and life
itself. (Yes, all those are privileges!)
In life, plan to give
more (resources, materials, knowledge and time) to others.
When you plan life
like that, more opportunities would open up for you. (This is not something
that is not taught in school. But wise people will teach you that.)
When you are leaving
this life, it would be a nice feeling to know that you have given more to
people.
A question for you: When
God asked Solomon to choose something that He would give, what did King Solomon choose? (See
1 Kings 3.5-14.)
