Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Matt. 10:8
In trying to live like Jesus, There's one thing we must learn: A gift must be freely given, Asking nothing in return.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images4/kingdombullet2.jpg) If we are always looking To receive our "just" reward, We're giving for our own gain, Not in service to our Lord.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images4/kingdombullet3.jpg) For life cannot be measured, By what we gave, or got; The only measurement is Love, And if we shared that love, or not.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images4/kingdombullet2.jpg) Christ said, * "Freely did I give to you, Now you should do the same." We ought to give with loving heart, And do it in Jesus' name.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images4/kingdombullet3.jpg) In that way, we'll be serving Him, Not merely our own selfishness. To give freely, with contentment: That's the secret of true happiness.
