Be A Cheerful Giver...Be Happy... Be Blessed...

“God is able to make every grace abundant for you... you may have an abundance for every good work.” – 2 Corinthians 9:82

When we give, it indeed creates a space where God can fill up with His more beautiful blessings. In my life, this has always been proven many many times. My college education is a gift, I was a National State Scholar the entire 5 years of my college education , free tuition fees all inclusive and with allowances for books, transportation, meals. Why, I believe it's a reward from my good works in our church.

I have a good family, my children are all high performers in schools and accomplished much...why... God has showered me with abundant blessings as I was good to my parents. I give all my salary to my mother when I started to work. I live on the allowance she gave me.


Corinthians 9:6-7 6 Brothers and sisters: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

And I indeed, looking back, gave my all cheerfully without sadness and certainly not because of compulsion but out of love for my mother and my family. And God returned what I gave several hundred folds as I have been blessed with a beautiful and loving wife.


“Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.” (Kahlil Gibran)

Let's give our all cheerfully....

God bless us all!

Giving Your 100% ...You'll be Happy....

I often hear people say that in a relationship, do not give your all, because if you do, you'll be miserable...

This is self fulfilling prophecy based on a the standards of the "world". What real happy people prescribed to is give your all in your relationships and you'll be happy! I reflected on last Sunday's message of Bro Bo on his brand new series of talk entitled T3: Time, Talent, Treasure... and recalled what he shared about happy and successful marriage.

Happy couples do not just give their token share in the relationship. Happy couples give their all, their 100% and even more. As I reflect on this, I use my math and create the equation :

HAPPY MARRIAGE = or > 100%
HUSBAND's SHARE = H
WIFE's SHARE = W
MARRIAGE = H + W
If H and W are both 100%
MARRIAGE = 100% + 100% = 200% = HAPPY MARRIAGE.

Sometimes, when either feels not so good, is not appreciated, or simply has "sumpong"
either H or W will not be 100%... but since MARRIAGE is H + W , the sum will always
guess what?....More than 100%....

However, for those who are just giving their 50% and waits for their better half to
give their 50%, sometime they do make 100%, but more often they barely hit it...


Give your best in everything, give your all and God will surely reward us!

God bless us all!
