Giving is about honour or respect. It is a necessity of life and not a show off. It is the attitude of any kind of friendship, relationship, marriage or any form of association.
The least form of giving is MONEY.
The first thing to give in any kind of relationship is HONOUR AND RESPECT. Honour is the ability to treat and talk to some one with regard. To respect is to value the personality, and virtue within this person.
The second thing to give in any kind of relationship is ATTENTION. Paying attention to this person. Pay attention for conversation on common interest in life. Pay attention to know and understand this person. Pay attention to know where you can be useful to this person. Pay attention to know how this person can be a blessing to you. Pay attention to the strength, weakness, struggles, pain, fears, worries and doubts of this person.
The third thing to give in any relationship is your TIME. Any relationship you are too busy to participate in is of no importance to you. If you are too busy to create time to talk, and pay attention to some one in relationship with you, he or she is not of importance to you. There will never be the perfect time for this person except the time you create for this person.
The next thing to give in relationship is HELP AND SUPPORT. What is the need of having a relationship you are not helping or supporting this person? This is a system and principles that applies to other people too. This kind of help and support are in different ways. It can be you sharing Godly ideas, Godly advice, creating opportunity for this person, buying of gifts, money, prayers etc.
The next thing to give is FORGIVE. We are humans and we make mistakes some time. Always forgive and be sensitive escape unrepentant people. Eve thou you can intercede for God to transform them, don't intentionally keep yourself in an abusive relationship (expect the Holy Spirit instructs you, even at that - the Holy Spirit will teach you how to handle the abuse coming from this person).
Every thing I have shared with you are principles of God's Word you must practice and it is a principle others need to practice with you too. There is more to giving in relationship but I will stop here for now.
Prince Victor Matthew
