Teach me your ways
Acts 20:35
"In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
When I was doing my quiet time, I was actually reading another verse in Acts but suddenly when my hands are off the bible, it flipped to another page showing me this verse. As I was reading this verse, it speaks to me just as i was seeking for an answer but didn't know what it is.
"Grace, it is more blessed to give than to receive..."
I feel really tired because I felt that I have been giving a lot through all these years of my Life. I gave almost all that I have to all that is around me. But when I am in China, I forgot all about giving.. I only think about receiving and taking, becoming like more and more self-centered rather than getting myself to do things beyond how I feel.
The more I took and received, makes me feel more and more restless & listless in doing many things. The Lord reminded me that I could only find JOY in giving & not just receiving.
