THE ability to give is, in itself, a gift a manifestation of God’s
goodness to a person.
If you have a trouble giving,
ask God to give you a spirit
of generosity and a willingness to give!
George MacDonald write
in The Word of Jesus on Prayer,
“For the real good of every gift
it is essential, first that the giver
be in the gift as God always is,
for He is love and next,
that the receiver know and receive
the giver in the gift. Every gift of God
is but a harbinger of His greatest
and only sufficing gift that of Himself.
No gift unrecognized as coming from God
is at its own best: therefore many things
that God would gladly give us
must wait until we ask for them,
that we may know whence they come.
When in all gifts we find Him,
then in Him we shall find all things.”
There is no relationship
where this kind of gifts of giving
is more pleasant important
and more life-enhancing than
in marriage relationship.
You know your spouse better
than anyone, and your spouse knows you.
When you give your spouse a gift of your love,
you’re giving more of yourself.
A wise lover values not so much
the gift of the lover as the love of the giver.
