There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life… happiness, freedom, and peace of mind, are always attained by giving them to someone else. Everything God created was created to give: plants give us oxygen, the sun gives us warmth and plants generate their food from the sun. Animals give us protein; water helps us to stay clean. Above all, the entire universe is sustained by the law of giving, the day you stop giving, you start dying. Withholding is a proof that you do not have; it is a proof of lack and lack is a sign that you are not supposed to have more. Jesus said: ‘whoever has will be given more, and he will have abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him’ Matthew 13:12.
Giving qualifies you to receive; it positions you supernaturally for abundance especially when done with joy and cheerfulness. The planet earth responds to giving; sow a seed of corn, you will reap a cob. Sow a seed of mango and you will reap a whole tree. Whatever you withhold you lose. If you withhold the seed of love from your spouse, you stand the risk of losing her. If you withhold the seed of hard work, you stand the risk of poverty. If you withhold the seed of persistence, then you run the risk of failure. If you withhold the seed of money, do not be surprised when you are short of it.
Above all, the entire universe is
sustained by the law of giving, the day you stop giving, you start
dying.
You do not just lose the things you withhold, but you also lose
those you are withholding them from. A poor man has a very funny
mentality. He remains poor because he does not give. He thinks
withholding will make him have more. A poor man is likely to think that
he is prudent by being stingy; especially with money. He thinks hard
work will make him sick. He thinks patience will make him look stupid.
What he fails to understand is that life is a seed. Whatever you give
you receive, whatever you withhold you lose. If there is anything you
want in your future, start giving it today!
