You can give without love but you cannot love without giving;
Love is of God so unless you have the love of God within you;
You will always when parting away with something.
Giving out something that doesn’t cost is but a mere donation;
But parting away with something you cherish is an act of sacrifice;
And a giver never loses, because he will definitely re-gain everything.
Giving is not always easy; especially when you rationalize it;
Wondering how that would strain the week’s budget;
But a giver never lacks; his generosity takes care of him every day.
Give without expecting anything in return;
Because you will be disappointed;
Your reward will however amaze when you least expect it.
There’s more to giving than just letting something go;
It is more about giving a part of yourself to someone or a cause;
Let your gift be a constant reminder of your good heart and not a trade.
When someone asks you for a fruit;
Give him a seed; it will grow into a tree which never runs out of fruits;
It will be your legacy in the hearts of all who eat of that tree.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Gal 6:9 (KJV)

You hit the nail on the head, Josey! This is a lesson I fritter away with and find it hard to swallow. I guess we used to call it “humble pie.” Giving to someone who rattles your cage and is not nice, that’s a hard tall order. Thanks for listing all the perks coming if I report for duty! 🙂

I’m always reminded of~ 46 For if ye alove them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Matthew 5

Very true….what makes us different is when we go all out to those ‘outside’ our circle and show them God’s love through Christ.
