'Possessing and Giving

It is not having that makes us great.

You may have the largest abundance of God's gifts . . .

of money,

of abilities,

of power,

of influence,

of noble qualities —

yet if you only hold and hoard what you have for yourself — you are not great.

We are great, only in the measure that we bless others.

We are God's stewards, and the gifts which come to us are His, not ours — and are to be used as He would use them.

When we come to Christ's feet in consecration — we lay all that we have before Him.

He accepts our gifts; and then putting them back into our hands, He tells us to go now and use them to bless others.
