Giving as we all know is one of the cherished values of an individual. It is mostly hailed and supported in society as well as recognized in the Holy Bible or one's sacred books . There are various reasons to which people give out something of we are going to talk so much about.

Hello everyone, it's Dangerous_Fly once again . PL subscribe if you haven't and leave a like or comment if you want to.

Let's dive in.

Giving they is the ability to help, assist as well as influence people through incentives for their betterment. There are several situations or ways a person can hand over some help to a group of people or a person of which some includes :

  • Provision of portable water for the people.

  • Provision of public toilet and several others for the people in society.

  • Handing over cash or kind to the poor and needy(orphans, widows and others ) in the society.

  • Helping in the development of the church as well as other places .

These are somethings people give out to people or their community or society of which society cherishes most.

Giving out is a very good practice as it has several benefits to both the giver and receiver but the giver profits most..

Importance Of Giving

Some importance of Giving includes;

  • Good image : Basically a whole lot of people have a sense of respect to people who give. They don't always look out for the reason why the person is giving or the motive behind it.

  • Society will be proud of you : Society will always have a sense of belonging that is they will always see you as a start , they feel proud to have you in their community, society, or group . They always stand out and mention it loudly, feeling supreme to have you in their midst.

  • Attracts blessings from ones object of worship : While society(human) are praising you, you again attract blessings from God.

And several others ..

But let's take a look at this ..

People consider giving to be just giving out or handing over some incentives to a person or a group of people and that is all you have given or you have practice the act of giving , but no that is not it .

  • People give to show off

  • People give to fulfill a challenge or competition

  • Some people give expecting something in return

  • People give just to be hailed or praised ..

Giving to show off, fulfill a challenge, expect something in return, be praised is not a good thing. Giving should be a thing of integrity, it should be from your heart , it shouldn't be influenced by anyone or anything .

These acts of giving are seen pleasant in the eyes of men . But does that qualify your act of given?

Let's take note that giving out to someone is not mainly to please man but ones object of worship.

Thereby there is the need to give from a clean heart, give not under influences but under your own will.

Thank you.

Yes giving money or something to simeone needful is the noble task. Every religion said that help the poor. You help poor then the god help you in returns. It that way both gain profits but the giver get more. It is true that some people are helping inorder to gain respect from others. We shall help people without expectations.

Giving is good for us. It is healthy for us to be generous givers and not just receivers. I remember a bible text I've read before. It says that 'there is more happiness in giving than in receiving'. In my personal experiences, I've realized that giving and happiness go hand in hand. I feel happy whenever I'm able to help someone by generously giving my time, effort and care. Because I don't have a lot of money, I can't give out much of the material things so I just give my time and effort in helping someone. And whenever they show appreciation, it makes me very happy 💛

Giving is also contagious be ause when we give, people are more likely to respond to our generosity with gratitude and become generous themselves. Giving thus fosters cooperation and friendship.

Sad to say that there are some people who only gives just to gain praises from other people, it's not because they do it from the heart. It is usually rampant with people in the politics. They donate something, let's say a building and have their name written there to show how generous they are. Others also gives out to poor people but have their photographs and videos taken while giving out. They're giving, out of pretence and to gain praises. But we should remember that 'we should not let our right hand know what the left hand did.

I still have a lot more to say but I can already write an article if I continue to do so 😅 Anyways, thanks for sharing another wonderful motivational article.

Giving with the anticipation of receiving something in return is just like not giving at all. Giving should come from the heart not for pretence.

And as such it really qualifies our act and makes it acceptable in the eyes of God not man.
