We all agree that receiving is both necessary and good.
- Growing up in a loving home
- Having all the necessities of life.
- Receiving a good education
- Having work to do and the strength to do it.
But Scripture tells us that there is even something better than that; namely, that is more blessed to give then to receive.
Why? Because if receiving made us more possessive, more self centered, more uncaring about the needs of others, would receiving really be an unqualified blessing?
So if you are a parent who is intent on giving your children everything they need, be sure you also teach them how to give. I try to give my children everything they need, but I also want them to grow up and become generous and compassionate people. I know you feel the same way as I do. .
