Part 1

Hi there, I’m Emily. Welcome to a new edition of Life in a Minute, your daily dose of challenge and inspiration.

Malamang lahat tayo, have encountered the famous saying and a biblical verse na si Jesus mismo ang nagsabi, “it is better to give than to receive”.Pero alam nyo rin ba that in giving, we are actually receiving? Nakatanggap ng cash birthday gift yung anak ng friend ko. Then narinig nya na meron nangangailangan ng tulong, alam nyo agad-agad he volunteered to give lahat ng pera nya. Nakakatuwa diba, kasi sabi nila nature daw ng mga bata ang pagiging madamot, pero sa kanila pa natin makikita yung giving living na tinatawag.

Well, I have a lot to share with you, mamaya when Life in a Minute comes back.

Part 2

Welcome once again to this second part sa edisyon natin ngayon ng Life in a Minute, still with Emily.

Sabi ni Richard Foster na isang author, the grace of giving daw often stimulates our life of faith. Siguro ito rin yung reason kung bakit meron tayong offering na kinukuha sa church as part of our Christian worship. Pero alam nyo, naniniwala pa rin ako na yung ritual giving nating ginagawa ay hindi sapat. Sa book of Isaiah, remember how God rejected the people kasi hindi nagma-match yung pagiging relihiyoso nila sa pag-aaruga sa mga mahihirap at nangangailangan, kumbaga walang compassion ang giving.

Sana hindi tayo ganito ‘no, instead totoo nating naipapamuhay yung pagbibigay. Life in a Minute will be back.

Part 3

Thanks friends for keeping it right here, conclusion part na tayo ngayon dito sa Life in a Minute.

Sabi ng Lord, true religion, worship, prayer and fasting must result in a life of mercy, compassion and giving. Simple lang ang ibig sabihin nito, kung totoo tayong kristiano, dapat makita ito, sa pamamagitan ng pagiging handa natin sa pagbibigay tulong at pagiging bukas-palad sa mga nangangailangan. Friends, sana maging practice natin ang giving living, everyday, hindi lang sa loob ng simbahan, sigurado ako, we would also be receiving more of God’s blessings and grace to give away.

Well, this has been Life in a Minute with Emily, saying start the habit of giving living. Thanks for listening. God bless you.
