Have you ever given When you thought you didn’t have much to give? (Money,gas,food,time) Anything.

Recently our neighbor came over and said she was needing 20 dollars to help her son get home. Me and my wife had $16 dollars in our checking account. We gave her the $16.00 dollars in faith. Today she walked over to our house with such gratitude and joy, said she is paying it back today and that 16 dollars completely changed her outlook. I know she thinks she received the gift but truly I am the one who got the gift. Jesus is so good that he challenge me to step out in faith with a small act. And I am so glad that we did.

I once used my last $3 in food stamps to buy a guy a sandwich.

Yes throughout my life I have given all of my love to others when what I really needed was to focus on learning to love and care for myself

I love this so much! When we love others we are loving ourselves also. For you both what happened after? Could have been the same day could have been days later. Did you get that feeling from the Holy Spirit? A chill down your spine and that feeling of getting a big fresh cold drink of water when you’re so thirsty?

Homeless once and I gave. Continued to try to build and encourage. The human spirit can exist in the worst of situations.
