“Give of yourself and you will receive abundance given back to you. Think in terms of how you can bless and give unto others. If you decide to give and bless and to serve others, you also will be blessed and loved by others. Take your mind off yourself and become a giver, and I will give you more to give.
Love is more than words, but is in the desire to put others even above yourself, to bring joy into their life, which also brings joy back to you. And when you face hardship in your life, look at it as a positive experience, because now you can relate to others who are experiencing something similar, and can not only listen and share feelings of empathy, but also express hope and encourage victory to overcome and become spiritually stronger.
If you never faced trials and tribulation, you can’t grow in maturity and endurance in Me. as Christ suffered, you too must be willing to suffer, some of the same experiences. That through them you may grow in the full stature of Christ. This also shows a deeper dimension and commitment of love, that few desire to experience.”
