I saw a church sign the other day stating in clear white acrylic letters, “You Get What You Give.” There is some merit to that. There are quite a few things in life that you get out what you put into them. Goal completion, mentoring programs, education, friendships, exercise programs; these can all be fairly good examples of the give get exchange.
Yet, when I saw that I sign, I was reminded of what I “Got” and not only didn’t but couldn’t “Give” for. Coming as a baby, growing up, being praised, being persecuted, tortured and killed – Jesus died for me. He died for you. I didn’t give anything for that. There is nothing I can give for that. Then, he rose from the grave! There is certainly nothing I could give for that.
There are times when I do not get what I give – Thank God!
