The feeling of giving is extraordinary, its such deep joy, it opens up one’s heart. It’s pure and utter love.
I had some spare money this week as I had some extra work, so whilst buying fruit for the week, I saw this homeless man sitting on the bench selling The Big Issue and I walked past. There was this feeling and an inner voice that said “Stop, you have extra money, go the the ATM and withdraw cash and give it to the homeless man”. I carried on walking (after all, things had been financially tight) the feeling got stronger, the inner voice was shouting at me! I went back, made a withdrawal and gave the man money. The look on his face was priceless, it made me feel so wonderful to give this poor soul some money because I had a bit extra. When he said “God Bless you”, I God blessed him back. Its the most joyous feeling in the world.
