GIVING OF YOURSELF FOR OTHERS

What does it mean to give of yourself for others?

Giving of yourself means placing the needs of others in a place of importance over what is normally self-centered thoughts and actions.

How to make the act of giving of yourself an integral part of everyday life:

1. Place at the center of all that is important in your life a self-imposed desire to bring happiness and joy to others.

2. Wake up every morning believing a divine appointment has been placed before you that would give you an opportunity to give of yourself.

3. Speak over yourself every day that you will be purposeful in  your efforts to hold dear every divine appointment that provides an opportunity to give of yourself.

4. Walk in the knowledge that every selfless act of giving of yourself to others will heap upon your account in Heaven crowns of gratitude to be placed before your loving Father when you meet in glory.

5. Stand ready to present yourself to others as one willing to sacrifice personal benefit for the benefit of others.

6. Open every door of interpersonal encounter with a sense of anticipation over the opportunity that exists to give of yourself.

7. Praise God for giving you the desire in your heart to sacrifice all that is important to you for the benefit of others.
