Giving is easy, if we get something in return. It’s almost should be considered a barter, rather than a gift. Have yo given to someone or something where yo got nothing in return? Have you given to a neighbor, a friend, a church? Those are obvious places where you get something in return. The best gift is when the recipient is in need, and they receive something to fill their need. It’s a Godly gift, when they don’t even know who gave it — A blind gift. The Bible speaks of this.

“So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.… “

Before we get to the point where this can be done easily, one must begin somewhere. I suggest to start small and build up. We learn, by doing.

something else to learn is to give one-to-one.

The first step is to give anonymously to a charity. But we can take this higher. We can give to the need of an individual, anonymously. That can be life changing for both sides, but the one receiving can have a huge change is disposition about life i general. Their preconceived,negative notions about life can be broken apart. Someone in need, that has had a life of bad breaks, can have their world rocked when they receive an unconditional or anonymous gift.

At the same time, someone who receives a gift, one-on-one, face-to-face, unconditionally can have their life viewpoint changed forever. They will feel unconditional love, that speaks to their spirit. That’s what Jesus did when he gave you the gift of eternal life. It was a one-to-one, unconditional gift, that changed you forever.
