אהבתו היא חיים והיא מולידה חיים. זרע מת לא יניב דבר. זרע חי, כאשר הואנטוע ומשקה, יצמח ויניב פרי המוליד חיים נוספים. רוחך מתה ומנותקת מהאלוהיםהחי עד שתקבל את ההחלטה המודעת לקבל את ישוע כמושיעך.אם תרצה, אוכל לעזור לך גם עם תרגום הטקסט לשפה אחרת או ניתוח המשמעות שלו.
Our love is life and it gives birth to life. A dead seed will not yield anything. A living seed, when it is planted and watered, will grow and yield fruit that brings forth additional life. Your spirit is dead and disconnected from the living God until you make the conscious decision to accept Yeshua (Jesus) as your savior.
Every day, we make countless choices that influence our relationships, our faith, and the way we view the world around us. Yet beneath those decisions lies a deeper question: what are we giving, and what are we receiving in return? In “Give and Take”, David Read invites readers to explore this powerful principle through a faith-centered journey that encourages reflection, spiritual growth, and a renewed understanding of God’s presence in everyday life. Published by Citi of Books, this is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retail platforms.
David A. Read is a devoted author and spiritual seeker whose journey took a transformative turn in 2016 when he felt a divine calling to write a book titled “Give and Take.” This calling was not just a simple nudge; it was a persistent message from God that compelled David to confront the shortcomings in his spiritual life. As he embarked on this writing journey, he found himself undergoing a profound maturing process, deepening his understanding of faith and spirituality. Through the revelations he received while writing, David not only crafted a compelling narrative but also experienced significant personal growth, learning to embrace the lessons of humility and surrender.
Growing up in a small rural town in Northern Indiana, David balanced his time between coaching junior high school teams, running a co-owned business, and working for large corporations. His life took a pivotal turn when he married his best friend and together they welcomed three children into their family.
It was during this time that God began to qualify David for a greater purpose, urging him to shift his focus from self-centered living to a deeper relationship with the Lord. Inspired by the words of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 3:7-13, David continues to press forward in his spiritual journey, striving to know Christ and the power of His resurrection. Amidst the trials and victories of life, he remains anchored in the love of God, Jesus, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, ever committed to sharing his insights and experiences through his writing.
Rather than focusing solely on theological concepts, “Give and Take” examines how our thoughts, attitudes, and experiences shape the way we interact with God and others. The book encourages readers to consider how their perceptions influence their actions and how every relationship becomes an opportunity to practice generosity, gratitude, forgiveness, and faith. Through this lens, life itself becomes a continual exchange of giving and receiving that reflects our relationship with the Creator.
At the heart of the book is a spiritual journey that begins with salvation and unfolds through seasons of challenge, growth, peace, and thanksgiving. Read presents the idea that because humanity is created in God’s image, we possess the capacity to both receive His blessings and share them with others. This foundational truth serves as the framework for the book’s message, helping readers recognize that every aspect of life is connected to this divine principle.
As the narrative develops, readers are reminded that God continually provides wisdom, guidance, strength, and opportunities for growth. The challenge, according to Read, is learning how to receive these gifts with humility while also becoming willing participants in extending love, grace, and encouragement to others. The result is a life marked not by self-interest but by meaningful spiritual connection and purpose.
Ultimately, the book serves as an invitation to transformation. It challenges readers to examine how they engage with God, how they treat others, and how they respond to life’s circumstances. Through thoughtful reflection and biblical insight, Read encourages believers to embrace a lifestyle rooted in generosity, faith, and appreciation for the blessings that surround them.
Excitingly, “Give and Take” is now available in Hebrew, allowing even more readers to experience David Read’s inspiring message in their native language. This expanded accessibility reflects David Read’s desire to share themes of faith, gratitude, spiritual growth, and meaningful relationships with readers from diverse backgrounds. Whether read in Hebrew or English, the book offers a thoughtful and encouraging guide for those seeking to deepen their connection with God and discover the abundant life that grows from living with both generosity and gratitude.
האם תהיתם אי פעם מדוע אתם חושבים כפי שאתם חושבים על אנשים, עבודות, מערכות יחסים, ועל כמעט כל דבר שאי פעם נתקלתם בו? כל מה שחוויתם אי פעם, כל מחשבה שחשבתם, היא תוצאה ישירה של מה שנתתם לכך, או של מה שלקחתם מכך. זו היכולת של נשמותינו לתת מחשבה ולקבל מחשבה לגבי כל מה שאנו רואים, שומעים ומרגישים בחיים אלה. אלוהים עיצב אותנו בצלמו, ובבריאה זו הוא הטמיע בתוכנו את היכולת לעשות זאת.
בספר זה, “תן וקח”, נלך בדרך מהישועה למלחמה, לשלום ולהודיה, כשאנו רואים שאלוהים נותן לנו הרבה, ושעומד לרשותנו הרבה ממנו כדי שננצל זאת לטובתנו. ככל שתגלו מי הוא כאלוהים ריבון, תתחילו למדוד את חייכם על פי מה שאתם נותנים להם ומה שאתם לוקחים מהם. ההבנה כי העקרונות המוצגים ב”תן וקח” שאנו מיישמים בנושאים כגון כבוד, סליחה, כיבוש מחשבות ועוד – כפי שנראה בדוגמאותיהם של דוד, נחמיה, דניאל, השליח יוחנן ואחרים – מתאפשרת בזכות אהבתו. כל מה שאנו נותנים לחיים אלה וכל מה שאנו לוקחים מהם מוגדר על ידי עקרון ה”תן וקח” הזה. כל מערכת יחסים, כל אירוע, כל רגע מתבטא באופן שבו אנו נותנים לאלוהים ובאופן שבו אנו לוקחים מאלוהים.
