Joy in giving

The phrase "There is more joy in giving than in receiving" reflects the idea that the act of giving to others can bring greater satisfaction and happiness than receiving something for oneself. This sentiment is often associated with the concept of altruism, where individuals find fulfillment and joy in helping others without expecting anything in return.

Several psychological studies support the notion that acts of kindness and generosity can contribute to a sense of well-being and happiness. The act of giving, whether it's through material gifts, time, or emotional support, can create positive feelings for both the giver and the receiver. Engaging in acts of kindness can lead to a sense of purpose, increased self-esteem, and improved mental well-being.

Cultures and religions around the world often emphasize the importance of generosity and selflessness as virtues that contribute to a more harmonious and compassionate society. While receiving can bring momentary pleasure, the lasting joy derived from making a positive impact on someone else's life can be more profound.

Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, He said, it is more blessed to give than to receive and we all know that God loves a cheerful giver. Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you give others it shall be measured to you again.

  Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee. A manager of a company often come across big problems.   This gave him lot of worry.   To stop worrying about his problem, he did something.   He made a worry box.   He used to write down his problem that gave him worry and put it inside the worry box.   After putting inside the worry box he will force himself to stop worry about that problem.   After a week when he opened the worry box most of his problems were already solved.   Dear children of God we do have a worry box.   Put everything inside that worry box and you can stay calm and cool to watch those problems getting solved.   Yes dears, Jesus is our Worry Box.

The Great Wall of China

  The Great Wall of China one of the wonders of this world is 4500miles long, 35feet high and 25feet wide.   Nobody can climb over it or demolish it.   The purpose of building this wall is to save China from the enemies attack.   But the enemies of China, Barbaians three times entered China.   They never climbed over the wall, they never demolished the wall, nor did they move around the wall.   They just entered through the main gate freely by bribing those security there.   In our life also our lack of self-control will lead us to great defeats.   We must control our spirit, thoughts, anger, emotions, lust, jealous and greed for money.   If we cannot control we will be unsafe.   Let us receive God’s grace to have real self-control in our life and be blessed.
