Bakit napakadaling tumanggap, pero napakahirap magbigay?
Napakadaling magbigay kapag marami ka, pero napakahirap kapag kapos ka na.
If you are a giver, I want to congratulate you. But let us check our motives kung bakit tayo nagbibigay…
NAPIPILITAN LANG
May mga nagbibigay nga, ngunit labag naman sa kalooban at napipilitan. Kapag hindi bukal sa puso mo ang pagbibigay, mas mainam pa na huwag ka na lang magbigay.
PARA MAGPA-IMPRESS
Meron namang iilan na kapag nagbibigay, ina-announce pa sa buong sambayanan. Gusto kasi makatanggap ng papuri at parangal. Kapag ganito rin lang naman, huwag ka nalang magbigay.
KAPAG MAY TIRA O SOBRA
Mayroon ding nagbibigay ng mga tira-tira–mga bagay na walang halaga sa kanila. Nagbibigay sila ng walang kalakip na sakripisyo. Kung ganito rin lang naman, huwag ka na lang magbigay.
Ngunit may mga nagbibigay naman, kahit kapos at may pangangailangan…
Nagbibigay ng hindi ipinapangalandakan sa iba…
Nagbibigay ng lahat-lahat nila, sukdulang maubusan pa sila…
Alin ka diyan sa mga nabanggit?
Hindi ba’t mas masarap magbigay kaysa tumanggap? May dulot itong kakaibang ligaya na hindi kayang pantayan ng kahit na anong regalo. When love is our motivation for giving, the Lord blesses it. Kaya naman magugulat tayo na the more we give, the more we receive.
Huwag maging sakim at maging madamot. Ayaw natin na pinagkakaitan tayo ng iba, kaya huwag din nating gawin ito. Always look for opportunities to give and share our blessings. Sa totoo lang, lahat ng meron tayo ngayon–pera, talento, oras, lakas, buhay, at lahat-lahat ng meron tayo–ay hindi naman sa atin, kundi ipinagkatiwala lamang ng Diyos. Kaya naman wala tayong karapatan na ipagdamot at angkinin ang mga ito. Let us allow ourselves to be His channel of blessings.
When you give, you are making a difference.
When you give, you are inspiring people.
When you give, you are testifying that there is a God.
When you give, you are a good steward.
When you give, you are changing lives.
When you give, you are allowing God to use you.
When you give, you will receive more.
Give and it will surely come back to you! Siksik, liglig, at umaapaw! Because when we give, we give to the Lord!
THINK. REFLECT. APPLY.
Mag-isip ng mga taong nangangailangan ng pagbibigay mo ngayon.
Think of ways on how you can help them in any way.
