Luke 3:10-11 -- On Learning to Share

"And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise."
Luke 3:10-11


This is something that John the Baptist taught the people in preparation for Christ's ministry, and it reminds me of something that we're all taught as children... learning to share. Maybe it is a lesson that we need another dose of as adults. :) We can take a look at our lives and what we have an abundance of, and consider ways that we can share with others. Donating stuff to local charities, giving to people we know that are in need... and if we don't know anyone that is in need, we can ask God to show us the needs around us and how to help, and he will help us as we are striving to do his will.

Today, let's learn to share all over again, and work towards being more generous with the abundance that God has given us.
