Giving

I give freely of all the good that God has given to me. I become perfectly balanced, joyous, and free!

The act of giving involves much more than money. We can give inspiration to those who need it. We can share a laugh or smile with the heavy­hearted. We can give our attention to one who needs desperately to be heard and appreciated as an individual. We can give hope. We can give compassion. We can give of our special talents and abilities.

If we are not giving, we cannot receive and thus we lose our balance. The result may be illness, poverty, or unhappiness. These symptoms can be used as valuable warning signals, however, telling us that we have become unbalanced and need to do something about it.

Nothing outside of ourselves can bring our lives into balance—not all of the doctors, friends, or material things in the world. We must adjust the scales within our own being. We can do so by living in the conscious awareness of Divine Spirit dwelling within us. God will guide us into the ways of giving, and our returns will pour down upon us in a splendid array of good.

One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor. (Proverbs 11:24)
