Your Giving Speaks for you

“Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and alms deeds which she did. And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber. And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us. And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up. And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.”
Wow! Her giving and good deeds were remembered at the time of her death. The brethren were so distraught at her loss that they called for Peter. Telling him what a great person she was and showed him the great things she had done. Peter was compelled to raise her from the dead. He prayed for her and raised her from the dead. Imagine that, her giving and good deeds spoke for her. We too can be generous in every area of our lives. In this way we can touch people and change their lives forever.
