This is undoubtedly true, as it is attributed to Jesus, but sometimes in order for someone else to be blessed we need to do the receiving. Think back to when your child gave you a present, then you graciously received and allowed your child to have that better blessing. When it comes to our salvation we receive the gift of grace from God in Jesus. We are in no position to give God anything as all belongs to him. It is God's good pleasure to give his children the kingdom. By all means be a generous person, but allow others the blessing of helping you too.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
