Too Close to Ignoreনমুনা

Will you guard another's flock?

"You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours." This kind of looking out for one another has been going on since the beginning of time. Unfortunately, however, some folks will not reciprocate and will, instead, demand justice if the other party asks for something in return.

Kindness done for kindness sake asks for and expects nothing in return, not even a "Thank you." However, too often when a kindness is done something is expected.

Some things to ponder:

1. When you help another person, do you expect something in return?

2. What can you give right now to another person in need and have no expectation of return?

Throughout this study, we have talked about how to help those people near you who are in need. Remember, when you help someone or lend a hand, you must do it with no expectation of receiving anything in return. Helping is not a job that pays. It is a gift that is given.
