Daily Word (5.27.09)

Pass It On:

"I am blessed as I give freely of myself and what I have." (DW, 5.27.09)

"It is more blessed to give than to receive." (Acts 20.35)

Mei Meditatio:

Giving and receiving are two sides of the same coin, two interdependent processes of life. We cannot give without a receiver, nor can we receive without a giver. The giving and receiving, giver and receiver need one another; they rely on each other. So, the giving and receiving, giver and receiver are intimately interconnected at the most fundamental relational level.

Thus, when my giving and receiving is done centered in God I'm able to give and receive more freely and openly. Through the loving spirit of Christ within, I become an abundant giver and grateful receiver. With grace and appreciation my giving and receiving are love-actions guided by the life of Christ. As Christ fills my awareness I'm better able to experience the awesome power of love in my relationships as the ever-present process of giving-and-receiving evolves into increasing prosperity.

In the name and through the power of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. Amen.
