GIVING
It can never happen that way he said
Can man give what he does not have? He queried
Silence reigned allover
He continued,
What you have is what you give
What you give is a reflection of you
It will always be a part of you
I nodded.
Of course of this I was told
Then it must have been unconsciously
Am happy, my spirit could get it even without my permission
What a man gives is what he has
And what one has shall be given to him
For it is written
Give and it will come back to you…
So be careful what you give!.
He warned.
You may end up getting what you never intended to give
Funny Huh!
Give the best so you can get the same
Humble yourself where possible
if that is what it takes for you to give the best
Step number one, he continued
Know what you have then
Know it’s destination then
Know the best medium then
Give out freely with this in mind, that
Freely you received, freely give
Discover the joys of giving your very best freely
Satisfaction guaranteed.
Virtues all around us, giving may be one
Success all around us, giving is at It’s core
I shall be satisfied for life
Because for once I know the secret
When you want to give first know your stuff
Because whatever you give
Shall surely come back to you
Because you reap what you saw
He concluded.
