In spite of what we see at times in the media, we all have the desire to help. It’s built into us as humans. It’s how we connect, feel value and ultimately belong which is a basic human need.
However, have you ever been asked or tried to help in ways you don’t like, believe in, or feel capable of? There is nothing more awkward, conflicting, or discouraging, right? (Not to mention, short-lived and thus ineffective and demoralizing.)
To us, ‘LYV’ means living a life of love.
Love always involves using your own resources and gifts God has given you for the purpose of serving others. Now that may sound draining right now with so much pouring out for the holidays, but I would like you to consider something…
This love expressed in service comes from the overflow that truly helps someone else. This love is expressed in practical ways, in the ways YOU specifically were meant to help, enjoy helping, are good at helping, and believe in helping.
What a difference that makes to both your quality of life and long-term effectiveness to help or give in accordance with the way you were designed. But if you do not know, you may try to help or give in ways that don’t work for you out of your desire to help, which has some benefits but long term is not sustainable. It is really rather draining.
“LYVing” means helping and giving in authentic, sustainable, and specific ways.
Oh, you really must experience the difference.
Want a sure way to fill up your cup?
There is nothing more satisfying, and believe it or not – filling, than pouring yourself out in love in ways you were meant to. Seriously. To spend yourself and your days pouring from your overflow knowing whatever you pour out will be replenished is such a sweet and filling way to live.
Figure out how you were meant to help and give. Do the work to determine your own design, and watch how much more powerful and long-lasting, and joy-filled your efforts become.
Giving, we understand spiritually, has a boomerang effect. (aka karma, Luke 6:38)
HOW you give and help will determine what comes back. We will discuss what it means to be in that FLOW in future communications. So stay tuned and learn more about how to fill up, so you can show up.
The world needs what you have. ❤️🙏
