day 2144: Free To Give!

 “Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’This is the first and greatest commandment.  A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”

Seth Godin says that “Free-Givers” are a lot better than “Free-Loaders”.  He is so right.  But, then why is it so hard to find those in our company who are freely giving of themselves, without expecting things in return. But, these types of individuals are few and far between.  We need more of them, but are we looking for them actively each and every day.  Who is in charge of finding, recognizing and rewarding the Free-Givers?

Jesus taught us to be free givers of ourselves, without expectation of returns.  Our reason for giving to others because He taught us to lover others.  And if we are to love others, then we must be giving of ourselves.
