Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Rich people believe: ‘I create my life.’ Poor people believe: ‘Life happens to me.’” T. Harv Eker

“For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?” Jesus

Love is its own reward so when we set limits on our love we set limits on its returns to us. This is somewhat like un-invested money or un-used talent. Jesus encourages his followers to uncap the potential of our reward by un-capping our investments of love to others. He tells us to devote our energies not only to family and friends but also to strangers and even enemies. God helps us in this and will either bring them to us like coming across someone broke down on the side of the road or else send us to them when we take the initiative to sign up as a foster parents. The point is that Christ wants to make us rich in love and its rewards and to do that we must be like live like the entrepreneur who is always looking for new opportunities and not the miser who sits on what he has. 5/26/2010 Conversations Within ts
