Have you ever bought a special gift, worked hard just to get it, and then only to be refused by the person you were giving it to? Felt bad didn’t it?
Receiving gifts. Sometimes, it is not our ability to give something in return, but our ability to receive the gifts given us that counts.
Our relationships are greatly enhanced when we become not only generous givers, but generous receivers as well, people who accept gifts gladly, thankfully, wholeheartedly, with the kind of smile you’ll never forget.
Receiving opens up a great channel, it allows love to flow. It recognizes the love of the giver, and it also shows how you think of yourself.
Are you the kind of person who always thinks he or she doesn’t deserve the gift given him/her? What is it that you deserve? Are you thinking of remuneration or payment? Then that is not a gift anymore but a fee or a salary.
Gifts are freely given, whose only reason and purpose is love. It has served its end when it is also received in love. Don’t you think you deserve love? Only those who value and love themselves can fully realize a fruitful relationship with other people. It is only they who are also capable of giving of themselves for the sake of love alone.
Are you a generous receiver?

Great post. I am working on receiving. I give and give, but for some reason do not “receive” very well; especially if a family buys me something when I know they could have used the money elsewhere. I’m working on being generous receiver – maybe I’ll make it my New Year’s resolution…
Happy to hear that! 🙂 and may you receive more and more of the blessings heaven wishes to bestow upon you
