Do not tire or grow weary of well doing, for God loves the cheerful giver. Understand that we must first build into the life of another that which we most desire in our own life. We must give it away before we can claim it as our own. It is in giving that we know ourselves to be ourselves, true to our ideals, manifesting and extending God into all things that we pass along to our brethren. Giving from the soul means that we release our gift and let God decide the outcome. In time, we are able to look back over our lives and determine if we have created heaven or hell in the life of another. It seems we are each other's canvas. In this way, we are accountable for each other, profoundly connected to those we have lifted up or sadly trapped with those we have let down. God help us to give out from our souls, for in so doing does the power come to love one another.
     I pray this day you will give out the best of yourself without thought of return.
