There is one thing that is difficult for man and even for some Christians, and that is to give freely, with joy and without expecting anything in return. It’s a sacrifice.
« Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. »(Hebrews 13:16)
If thanksgiving and the confession of God’s name are a sacrifice of praise that God demands (Hebrews 13:15), we must not forget that there are other sacrifices of gratitude and love that we must offer him in the person of our poor and suffering brothers.
To compensate for this “forgetfulness,” we convince ourselves that we are pleasing God because we fast, spend a lot of time in prayer, or because we are faithful in church meetings. We sometimes even feel a sense of duty accomplished! However, this verse reminds us that the Lord delights in us giving and doing good to others.
Let’s think about it!
PRAYER:
Lord our God, grant us pleasure in giving and doing good to others.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
