The holy book of the Bible tells us to give to others and it shall be given unto us in return. We are also told in that holy book that we should not expect anything from the person/persons we give to (or render help) but to do it unto God almighty. I see giving as a lifestyle and an attitude that we should all have.
A lot of people enter into a relationship hoping to get one thing or the other out of that relationship. These things may include LOVE, money, attention, care, connection, happiness and the list continues. It is very hard to give and you don’t expect something in return.
Actually, I think it takes a lot of courage, grace, maturity and sacrifice for an individual to give something (or even anything) without expecting anything at all in return whether it is financially or emotionally.
When giving or showing LOVE to people (family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, partners etc) we should not expect anything in return. I know it’s quite hard to practice but that is how life is supposed to be. Life is all about giving and likewise LOVE too-it is about sacrificing.
So, you should not show LOVE because you expect the other person to do same for you. If the individual in question remembers your kind gesture, good but if not carry on with your life as if nothing happened. No matter what happens, bear it in mind that you just touched a life.
The person might not remember to thank you or payback but posterity will forever remember you. Giving to someone that you know can give back to you is not ideal and depicts selfishness. Remember that whatever you sow you will surely reap.
My dear Love Cribbers, I urge us all to always give LOVE and show it sincerely to our neighbours and even enemies without asking for anything in return. By doing this we are indirectly drawing blessings into our lives.
