The Best Kind Of Giving
The best kind of giving is of yourself.
Giving of yourself costs the most but has the most impact.
Giving of your finances and possessions is wonderful and needful. There are people with real immediate needs that can be helped with a meal, or some financial contribution or some other material means.
But the best way to give to someone is to give of yourself. That is a level above giving from your "abundance". Giving of what you have is good, but giving of yourself is next level and sacrificial. And that is where the most impact can be had, when you are actively giving of yourself to someone. Giving of yourself can have multiple faces, depending on the needs. But it always requires sacrifice.
It can be easy to give money. But it is rarely easy to give of yourself.
The difference between the two may not be clearly defined, but the difference simply put is sacrifice.
