You might be wondering there was a series already on giving, why talk again about sharing? There is a clear difference between “giving” and ”sharing”. Giving means you are transferring the ownership of what you have to another person, without any desire to take it back and sharing means, out of that possession that you have, you have chosen to give part of it away. You still have another part while you decided to let go of the other part.
One is giving totally, while the other is, holding back a portion or some fractions. Don’t get it wrong, they are both equally important, equally valued and equally beautiful, but they are quite different and they come from different places in our hearts and souls
It is perfectly okay to share when you feel you don’t want to let go. Most people hardly give because they feel what they have is not even enough for them and we are all different. Our upbringing and exposures shape us and this is why I can’t blame anyone for not understanding the concept of giving. If you can’t give, then try to share. The more you share, the more you see how great you feel on the inside and with consistency, giving will become easy for you.
As a parent, you can’t help but share your life with your children (if you choose to have any). Life is designed this way, so much that if we can all share a part of us, then the world will know peace and healing. If only we can share, then we can put smiles on other people’s faces.
If what you have is not enough to meet your needs, turn it into a seed; give or share.
It is perfectly fine if you enjoy giving and by all means, please continue with it, but if you are the type that struggles with it, it is still okay, you just need some getting used to, and a little bit more understanding on what life is all about.
Life is not all about you. Life is not all there is to life that we can see, there are some hidden mysteries that we need to unravel, things that don’t make sense for now, but the rewards are so enormous. One of them is to share. There is this joy that comes with knowing that another soul went to bed thankful to God for coming in contact with you. Give, if you can, but when you can’t, please share. Life is about sharing.
Thank you for your time.
