WE'RE NOT GOING BACK

EP 75 - THE LAW OF RECIPROCITY


Listen Later

Ever felt indebted to someone because they did something

nice for you?

Or felt like someone didn’t do something nice for you in

return?

No worries, most of us do or feel that way at time… but

there’s a way to not do that any more.

The law of tithing talks about how we will be blessed by

obeying this law, but it does not say we will get back exactly what we gave,
from the same people we gave to.

It’s more like, we give and we receive.  It’s not I give you and you give me… that’s

not how it works.

When it comes to marriages… we almost always want back

what we give from our spouses (“50/50”)… but that’s not how it works here
either. If you’re married you probably know that.

If we ever find ourselves feeling in lack of something,

start giving more.  As we give we
receive… often times in just the joy of giving. 
But in general when we give, we never know how or when it will come back
to us… but it will. It’s the law.

And reciprocity is not linear… keep that in mind.  Give just to give, and give cheerfully.

Ways in which we can give (cheerfully)… think back to

times when someone gave you something you never forgot… that is one way in
which you can also give:

  • Remembering friends and those we love (b-days, anniversaries)
  • Keeping in touch
  • Giving compliments, for talents or unique abilities, etc.
  • Acknowledging/giving praise for good deeds, talents, etc
  • Sharing of your talents (cards, cooking, flowers from your garden, teaching a special skill)
  • Showing gratitude/appreciation for deeds done for you, or for gifts received
  • Not expecting/demanding reciprocity
  • Not comparing (he does so much for his wife, her children show more love)
  • Inspiring others by being more positive and less critical
