Closing Thought: Reciprocity is the way of this world, but it is not the way of the Kingdom of God. My we repent of giving to get, of withholding from those who can offer us nothing in return, and for not looking toward our eternal reward when we are resurrected. Jesus did not give of Himself that His bride would pay Him back. He needs nothing from us and has given us everything freely. May we grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus and live our lives from there.
