Is it to feel good yourself or to make others feel good? You all have your reasons why you give to others. “Because my parents, family and friends gave to me.” “Because God gave his only Son, so that I may live and live more abundantly.”
Professional health officials say that giving is therapeutic for the giver. So in most cases, it is a win-win situation for the giver and the receiver. WOW, what a deal for you! Is the recipient equally feeling good? Of course, they are feeling good because they are like you. Everyone likes to get the things that make them comfortable. You just have a different level of comfort. To these Congolese children, comfort is usually a bare necessity such as nutritious food, clean water, a dry school, or a mosquito net. You will feel good knowing that you gave to “one of the least of these”.
Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God. Isaiah 40:1
