How to be an Energy-Giver

An energy-giver is someone who loves God with all of his heart, and therefore turns to love his neighbor as he loves himself.

As he focuses on loving and serving God, he invests his life in meeting the needs of those around him, freely giving of himself, his time, his talents, and his resources to make others successful, cared for, and appreciated. His heart is so full of the grace and love of God that he can’t help but
share God’s love with others.

• He seeks after God’s face by spending time in Bible study and prayer, and he shares the insights he finds with others.
• He offers a ready smile and has a rebounding source of enthusiasm.
• Always looking for ways to serve those around him, he puts his heart into the tasks at hand and is diligent in simple and complex tasks.
• He does more than is required of him.
• He looks for the good in others and is quick to praise what he sees.
• He remembers those who have invested in his life and he is grateful for them.
• He enjoys good humor, but turns away from foolishness that hurts and harms others.
• He lives frugally so that he can give to others.
• He is quick to forgive his offenders and offer restoration.
• He seeks for the truth and applies it to his life; he is obedient to God’s words.
• He prays for others.
