"When we have a work to do
And the task ahead of seems bigger than you
That's when He steps in...
What's that you have in your hand
I can use it if you are willing to lose it
Take a little you have and make it grand
I am Elshadai, and I'll more than supply your needs..."
(+Alvin Slaughter)
From the above lines, the song writer tries to paint a particular picture about giving, and what it should be like. It is not dependent on what you have or what you don't have. Neither is it dependent on how big or how small it is, but the state and condition of the heart at which it is given.
Are you somewhere out there feeling inadequate, concerned and worried about where the next meal will come from or even thinking about what the future holds? May be you have tried all that you know how to do and it looks like nothing seems to be working. Perhaps, you have borrowed some funds just to keep the pace so no one would know what's happening on the inside, and now it looks like you are down to your last dime. Well, you are not alone in this!
So many times we try to cover up some things, hide under our shadows, and even try to impress others, whereas in reality, the reverse is the case. We can conceal so many things from others, but we cannot hide from our true selves.
There's someone up above, who knows, sees, and understands the beginning from the end. He knows your past, present, and future. And no matter the level you find yourself in life, there's still something in your hand. It is your responsibility to identify or discover what it is that is in your hand. It could be big or small. It could be something that is valuable that could foster some kind of exchange. It could be a gift or a talent. It could be a skill. It could be a technical knowhow. It could be a smile or an excellent communication skill...
May be you are living large(big), and you have some connections in high places. It could be contracts. It could be some sort of endorsement... No one is exempted from giving. It is a principle of life! In giving, the poor and the rich meet together, and anything can happen at such gathering. The rich may become poor, and the poor may become rich. It's about the attitude to life.
From the analysis above, we can say that friendship is mutual! You call me, I call you. You give to me, and I give to you what I have in return. It can be big or small, and both parties are happy ever after.#Friendship#Mutual#Giving#Big or Small.
