Here’s two questions you may want to consider this week:
Is it more important to you to do things to RECEIVE a blessing?
Or is it more important to you to do things to GIVE a blessing?
A friend pointed out that you can do both. True. But, that’s not the question.
The real question is: which one is MORE important to you? Heads it’s receive a blessing. Tails it’s give a blessing.
Do you usher because it feels good? Do you sing in the choir because it’s a blessing? Do you volunteer at the food bank because it brings you joy and happiness? Do you teach Sunday School because your students compliment you on your lessons? Do you do something nice for someone, then get miffed if they don’t thank you? Do you take meals to shut-ins then tell your friends to let them know how you are “serving the Lord”?
I’m struggling with both those questions. I want to discover the answers, but today, I don’t know how to answer either of them, or decide which one is more important to me. I think I’ll be praying about and pondering both questions for awhile.
For His Glory 
I believe it is more important to give a blessing. I believe God wants us to be a blessing to others, If not making a difference in the world then in our corner of the world. It is part of love and showing compassion, is how I see it.

Great thoughts, angel, I believe that’s the side of the coin God is showing me as I ponder that question.

My last devotional was titled, Blessed to be a Blessing. We are blessed by God because He loves us and wants us to be a blessing by showing His love to others and thus bring Him glory. I believe it all goes back to our motivation which should be to bring Him glory. It’s all about Him, not about me and what would make me feel or look good, That’s my take.
