Never give something to someone for the purpose of receiving appreciation or gratitude from them. Give to others when I tell you . . . out of obedience and blindfolded faith in Me. Give to others out of humble service. Do not expect anything in return from them. Do not desire anything from them at all . . . not Love, not honor, not thoughtfulness, not respect. Only look to Me as your Reward. Freely give to others as I lead. Then you will freely receive what you truly need from Me. Matthew 10:29 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Luke 9:23-24 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. Philippians 3:8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.  1 John 3:16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
