Each Gives What He Has…………

Back in the days when Germany was divided, a huge wall separated East and West Berlin.  One day, some people in East Berlin took a truck load of garbage and dumped it on the West Berlin side. There was a great deal of animosity between the people of Germany. 

The people of West Berlin could have done the same thing and given them tooth for tooth and created more animosity between two blocks which was part of the main Germany itself.  They did not think like East Berlin.  Instead they took a truck load of canned goods, bread, milk and other provisions which would be required by the people of East Berlin.  They wanted to lend a hand of giving help and kindness.  They took all the stuff out from their truck and neatly stacked it on the East Berlin side.

On top of this stack they placed the sign:

‘EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS’

How very true and words of perfection.  You can only give what you have.  If you think very stingily and selfishly about yourself you will give it very miserly and not want to share with the society and if you think that the Lord has been so thankful to you and he has given you the best, why not share it with others and make others happy and joyful.

What do you have inside of you? Is it hate or love, violence or peace, death or life, capacity to build or capacity to destroy? What have you acquired over the years? Would you like to give back and lead a peaceful life as no one has come to live it? All have to one day go away and leave everything here as there is nothing to take with us.  Come empty handed go empty handed.

EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS.  The waters of a river are for the use of the populace.  The containers the people bring to fill with water are large or small according to their needs. So give generously and do not bother about anything.  All are taken care of, none are excluded.
