God’s big love... “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” – Jesus (Luke 3:11)
One special day in December, Teacher Nadia opened her closet and said, “Hmm… these clothes don’t fit me anymore.” Then she smiled and said, “Maybe someone else can wear them!”
That’s how her small online shop started on her phone. She sold used clothes that still looked nice.
Every time someone buys an item, she happily says, “Yay! You found a new home!” It makes her heart very happy.
Teacher Nadia does not work alone. She shares her small earnings with her mom and her sister, who helps at home. They smile and say, “We are a team!”
When some clothes are not sold, Teacher Nadia says, “Let’s share them!” They give the clothes to families affected by storms and fires.
She learned a simple lesson: “Money is not just for keeping. It is for helping others, too.”
And every time she shares, she feels very happy inside.
Look around your home today. Is there something sitting in a corner — a toy, a shirt, a book — that you no longer use but someone else might need? God has a funny way of making our “too small” into someone else’s “just right.” Sharing does not make us poorer. It makes us more like Him.
