Sharing is an act of kindness where something that belongs to you is given to someone else because you think they need it as well.

Caring is when you show concern for someone else . At the same time you are tending to their needs. So, when you share something with someone, you are tending to their needs and showing them you care about them. 

Sharing something doesn’t necessarily mean giving something over that is physical. You can share your time with someone and volunteer to help out in some way. You can also share your words and your story. 

“How would this be caring and helpful?” I hear you say. 

Sharing our story is so important in bringing encouragement to others. Someone else out there needs to hear your words and what you have been though. Maybe they are going through something very similar and hearing what you have to say gives them hope. 

Share your story! 

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 1 Peter 3:15-16
