If you pour yourself out for the hungry then shall your light rise in the darkness - (Is 58:10)

MY GIVING SHINES GOD'S LIGHT BEFORE MEN

There is but one Giver and one Receiver. You think you help the weak but you help yourself. You think another gives to you but it is your estate that you receive. In Oneness is giving and receiving, but no importing or exporting.

Giving freely is one of the most emphatic acts of trust that is possible. You do not give to receive, but to affirm the ever-full nature of the One in Whom you live and move and have your being.

You give and receive graciously for it is all God's free gift. "We grant that human life is mean" says Emerson "but how did we find out that it was mean? (It is) the fine innuendo by which the Soul makes its enormous claim." Every time we overcome meanness, we shine a Light before men to the glory of God.
