READ: John 3:34-35
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. :- John 3:16-17
Giving has always been the greatest sign of love. God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son. Love is like oil. You cannot just give oil to somebody. Without a bottle you will not be able to make a gift of oil to him. There will always be what you are giving to prove your love and your sincerity.
Without having something to give, you are often unable to show love. Watch out for people who just talk a lot and make a lot of promises. You must be wary of speeches. You must be wary of people who talk a lot but have little to show for their love.
I have met many kinds of people who have various levels of love. Rest assured that those who speak a lot but act little are not the ones who really love you.
One day, I met a man who seemed willing and eager to help me in any way possible. He showed me a business that I could engage in, and offered a lot of advice based on his own experience. When I asked him for financial help to start the business, he immediately backed off. “So sorry,” he said. He would not be able to help me at all!
This man was not a poor person. Indeed, I knew people that he had recently given gifts of over ten thousand pounds sterling to. He was a living millionaire whom I had encountered. There are many people whose love does not extend beyond their words. God’s love extends beyond words. God’s love is backed with real actions. God’s love is backed with giving. If you love you will give! God so loved that He gave.
