Sharing 101

Principles

1. Everything you have comes from God.


2. Everything that is given to you is given in trust to you.


3. The blessings that you have are not just for your own personal benefit.


4. What is given to you is given that you might share it with others.

Give and Take

The more you give,
the more you get.

The more you love,
the less you fret.

The more you do unselfishly,
the more you live abundantly.

The more of everything you share,
the more you'll always have to spare.

The more you love,
the more you'll find that
life is good and friends are kind.

For only what we give away
enriches us from day to day.

The Walk of Love

The Walk of Love
releases others from your expectations.
You unconditionally set yourself to exhibit
Christ's love regardless of their actions.


The Walk of Love
is expressed in a servant spirit.
You look to channel your talents and energies
toward encouraging and stimulating others.


The Walk of Love
is sacrificial.
You are willing to give up your time
and even your ambition
for the sake of seeking first the kingdom of God.
