Chef Blessing: The Art of Cheerful Giving

Today’s Scriptural Arsenal (SA) is best enjoyed whilst listening to the song “Do Something” by Matthew West.

In the bustling heart of a quaint little village, there lived a renowned chef named Blessing. She was not just known for her culinary skills but for something far more remarkable—the way she infused her meals with love, joy, and a generous spirit.

One sunny morning, as Blessing prepared to open her restaurant, she received a visit from a group of weary travellers. Their faces were etched with exhaustion, and parched lips whispered the need for water. Without hesitation, Blessing set out glasses of cool, refreshing water served with a warm smile.

It was a simple act akin to adding a pinch of salt to a dish, yet it carried profound significance. As the travellers quenched their thirst, gratitude filled their hearts. Blessing’s cheerful giving had kindled a spark of hope within them.

As we turn to Matthew 10:42, we find Jesus himself speaking of the significance of such seemingly small acts: “And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”

In the world of cooking, every chef understands the importance of the right ingredients, meticulously measured and combined to create a perfect dish. Similarly, cheerful giving is a vital ingredient in life’s journey that can transform the mundane into something extraordinary.

Imagine cheerful giving as the secret spice, enhancing the flavour of your existence. It’s not just about material wealth but about the richness of your heart. When you give with joy and selflessness, you sprinkle kindness into the world’s recipe, making it a better place.

The rewards of this spiritual recipe are beyond measure. It’s not merely about receiving but about experiencing the joy of giving. As you embrace cheerful giving, you become part of a beautiful symphony of generosity, where each note played resonates in the hearts of others.

For Christians, this concept holds even more profound significance. It reflects the very essence of Christ’s teachings. His life was a testament to selfless giving, and he encouraged his disciples to follow in his footsteps.

Now, you may wonder how to incorporate cheerful giving into your daily life. Begin by reflecting on your blessings, for a grateful heart is more inclined to give cheerfully. Look around for opportunities to lend a helping hand or offer encouragement. Small acts can ripple outward, creating waves of positivity.

Incorporating cheerful giving into your daily routine is a conscious choice. Start with a cheerful “good morning” to a colleague, a thoughtful gesture to a neighbour, or supporting a charitable cause close to your heart. Like an ingredient in a gourmet meal, each act contributes to a richer and more fulfilling life.

Allow me to testify how cheerful giving has opened doors in my life. Over a decade ago, I made a life-altering decision to give my heart to Jesus Christ. This act of faith was like the first stir of a wooden spoon in a pot of soup, initiating a transformative process.

Through my journey of faith, I discovered prosperity beyond material wealth. I found a profound sense of peace that surpassed understanding and a joy that filled every corner of my being. It was as if giving my life to Christ had set in motion a chain of blessings that continued to unfold.

Cheerful giving, whether in service, love, or resources, has been a cornerstone of my faith journey. It has enriched my life and allowed me to be a vessel of God’s love, spreading hope and kindness to others.
