Thoughts About the Importance of Sharing
God calls upon us to be thankful and share our abundant blessings with others.
Acts 2:46-47 (NLT) – “They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity — all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.”
Sharing is how we spend most of our days. We share a meal, a story, a hug, the work, our time, a bottle of wine, our experiences, our faith, our hope, and our love. Sharing our treasures by giving from our many blessings to help feed, clothe, comfort, heal, and save others is a wonderful way to show our love and receive love and thanks in return.
1 Corinthians 13:13(NLT) – “Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.”
God did not create us to be alone. Certainly, God created a woman so that man would have a life partner to help him deal with all of life’s trials and uncertainties. First, however, God introduced man to the animals, which he would name and have dominion over. The animals have become our constant companions with their love, dependence, and devotion to us. We are never alone when we have a good dog, a trusted horse, or a purring kitten.
Genesis 2:18-19 (NLT) – ‘Then the LORD God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.’ So the LORD God formed from the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and the man chose a name for each one.”
When we are in the company of family, friends, neighbors, and others, we can share our faith. These brief moments of sharing the light of Christian love are so easy, and most always make a positive impression on those people we encounter on a daily basis. We can go a step further by taking time to visit with these brothers and sisters, and perhaps help relieve their stress or maybe even offer a good suggestion for their problems. A “let’s go have a coffee or a drink” can lead to our being a good listener, encourager, and maybe a problem solver. Sharing our time is as important as sharing treasures.
Even more important is sharing our lives with God, our Father. Sharing our hearts and minds with Jesus Christ is a never-ending blessing. Letting the Holy Spirit share the wisdom of right living guides us along our way each day to the Kingdom of Heaven. Sharing communion at church and in our homes is a way to set our sights on Jesus.
Luke 22:16-18 (NLT) – “For I tell you now that I won’t eat this meal again until its meaning is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.” Then he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. Then he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. For I will not drink wine again until the Kingdom of God has come.”
Gracious God, Our Heavenly Father. Thank You for all of the wonderful blessings You share with each one of us. Teach us the meaning of sharing our treasures. Show us all how to share and share alike with everyone. We pray this in Your Son’s Precious Name, Jesus! Amen!
