Hello,
I believe in doing good things from the heart. I think there are greater blessings in giving in secret rather than seeking recognition from the world for acts of kindness. I prefer to give in secret rather than in public. Some people give in secret and then boast about it in public, which I don't think is genuine kindness.
Sometimes, I do give to people in public but always with sincerity. If more people did this regularly, they would receive blessings in abundance.
I'm one of the beneficiaries who gave in secret and reaped bountifully, to show that there is power in giving in secret and with sincerity. Three months ago, someone gave me a wrap, and it was an elderly person who presented the gift to me after our Bible study in the evening. He gave it to me in public, and I knew it was from his heart. I thanked him and his wife for such an offer. Some gifts come as a blessing to change your life, and some gifts come to mar your future.
I also had a story of a friend who was a diva and was talented in every field of life. Her friend got jealous of her, and the next thing, she moved into showing unkindness through a gift that was manipulated by her to harm her friend. She successfully presented the gift to her friend, and as God would have it, her charms didn't succeed in her friend's life. Her friend, who was a diva, was a giver, and being a giver knows how someone gives out of happiness on the face and the heart. She didn't use her gift; instead, she got burnt because of the content of her heart.
It鈥檚 good to be wise when you are a receiver, so you won't get a gift that will mar your destiny.
Another scenario involves a close relative of mine. He gives in secret and announces to the world that he did this and that, boldly mentioning the person's name for everyone. Upon hearing this, I was shocked to my marrow and vowed never to receive a gift from him again. He gives to the public and has witnesses, saying rubbish in the process of giving out.
My withdrawal from the person and calling him to attention. At least to advise him that if he wants to be blessed, he needs to give with sincerity. And then, I would withdraw from the person. If he persists in getting what he wants, I will return his gift to him._
I like unconditional love and unconditional giving. Love and giving without expecting something in return. I cherish these people very much.
Good things from the heart always come back with bountiful things too. If not from that person, it could be from another person. There is an abundance of blessings attached to giving with a good heart.
For those reading this content, give from a grateful heart. Don't announce your support to others in the world. For those who with kindness, I don't take it for granted.
