Qualifications It takes a big person to be a truly good receiver. He must learn to receive gifts from others without feeling humiliated by being given something. He must not rob the giver of his joy in giving. He must prepare himself to receive by being receptive and appreciative. He must be grateful for little things if he would receive the more abundant gifts of the Father. He must remember God as the great Giver and the great Gift. He must behold the Father through His sons and daughters who act as agents for His bounty and blessing. He must rise to the occasion when some one intrudes at an inopportune time. The gift he bears may be disguised. It may seem that he has come to get instead of to give. The good receiver must look beyond the outer appearance. He must say: My time and my service belong to God. I use them in His service, and He brings to me those who can serve me and whom I can serve in Gods service. He who calls forth some good quality in me—patience, kindliness, service—does me a service. He gives me an opportunity to use wisdom, love, and discrimination. I will be a good receiver. Christ Jesus said, No one cometh unto the Father, but by me. I will say in His name, No one cometh unto me save by the Father, and I will think and act upon that realization. Ernest C. Wilson
