Why Is It So Much Harder to RECEIVE than it is to GIVE?
By Jody NolandHow often do we move through life, repeating the mantra “I’m fine…really…I’m just fine,” when really, we're not?
So often, we buy into the lie that self-sufficiency is the ultimate accomplishment. It’s as though we are trying to be our own little gods.
We pretend that we are “fine” and, as a result, miss bountiful opportunities to receive from others and even from God.
Yes, Jesus did say: “it’s more blessed to give than to receive.” We’re not intended to be human sponges, just absorbing all that life has to offer.
