I went to Haiti in 2010 after a long season of mourning. I shared my losses with the earthquake survivors’ losses and I did, indeed, find ‘a new vision and a new purpose’. And in so doing I was also blessed with a new understanding of Jesus when He said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive”. (Acts 20:35) The brilliant truth of this is that it is also in the giving that we do receive.
It is why God calls us to give ourselves away in His service so that He might make room for the receiving of Himself within us.
I’m going to Tanzania in November with Developing Workers Global to take care of kids and their families with an extension to visit my college roommates in Amsterdam.
It is time to ‘get on with it’ and take the next step in the giving circle put in place by God Himself: “For God so loved the world that He gave…”.
