I meet with spouses who want a divorce frequently. I ask them, “Would you be willing to die for your spouse or at the least, give a kidney to your spouse?” To which, the person responds, “yes, of course.” Then, I often ask a follow-up question: “You say you are willing to die for them, but…
What a privilege it is to give to others! God has given us SO much simply in the one gift of eternal life through His Son, Jesus Christ! Out of our gratitude for that huge gift, we ought to give freely to others. God’s example to us is to give. “Freely you have received, freely give.”…
