God’s Blessings Are for Others
God plants no seed thought in the human heart which may be a blessing to mankind that man has any right to monopolize. Whatever God gives to any one which may in any way be a blessing, He gives that it may be ministered to others. The farmer hides the seed in the earth, not that it may be lost, not for earth's special blessing, but that earth may multiply it for blessing others. "For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light." Mark 4:22, R.V. He who holds for his own delectation, profit, or honor, any of the gifts of God, is perverting God's blessings, and sooner or later the blessings will become a curse, the light darkness. But he who gives, multiplies God's blessings, and increases his own capacity to receive.
