Been thinking a lot about sharing…
Have you ever reflected on how He teaches us to share?
I don't know about you, but sharing, which shows the sincerest kind of caring, has not always come easy for me. As children, sharing is a challenge for all. Our parents seek to teach us to share our toys and to think about others, not to be selfish.
As we get older, we begin to learn how to share ideas, family and friends.
Oh me oh my, sharing family and friends has always been a sour pickle for myself. Yes, I have a possessive streak that rages right into toxic sea of petty selfishness. Well, MUCH less now, thanks to His work, patience, and the people He has placed in my life.
I see him all over everything that encompasses the beautiful concept of sharing.
He shares His Creation with us. He is so generous in giving Himself for us. He teaches us to share Him, to share in the sufferings and in the joy. We also see His sharing the the word and the gospel. Most of all in the way He loves and extends applicable mercy, constantly sharing His Grace, so that we can share ours.
In Heaven and on earth there is no fighting over who gets rights over Jesus. There is no my Jesus, my God, none of that taking ownership, or Lordship over our Lord. He shares Himself, showing no partiality. His sharing grows within exponentially if we seek Him.
Lord, help us all to share, selflessly, our resources, our love, our loves, our faith, our lives...help us share You, more and more. Your shared Glory shines so beautiful, so radiant.
