Give and Accept

“Always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting.”

― Brian Tracy

anne frankToo often we can get caught up in quid pro quo. That is if I do something for you then you owe something in return. This leads to not wanting accept assistance from others. It seems easier to give as that doesn’t incur an obligation. We have to understand God doesn’t expect this kind of thinking. We must be able to give without any obligation for a return and even harder for most of us take without feeling obligated. We have to think like the movie “Pay It Forward.”  Kindness does move on from person to person. Give kindness and accept kindness. It’s God’s plan.

Loving God, you expect us to give and give and give. Help us to also be able to accept what is given to us. AMEN
