Reciprocity Matters: Learning to Steward What God Has Given Me

-

  There was a time in my life when I gave freely without much thought about whether that giving was being reciprocated. I showed up for people. I listened. I encouraged. I supported. I poured into friendships and relationships because that was simply who I was. But over time, I began to notice a pattern. I was often the one reaching out. I was often the one checking in. I was often the one giving, encouraging, helping, and investing. While there is nothing wrong with being generous, I eventually realized that constantly pouring without being replenished comes at a cost. Reciprocity matters. Healthy relationships are not about keeping score. They are not transactional. They are built on mutual care, respect, and investment. Both people contribute. Both people make an effort. Both people value the relationship enough to nurture it. When only one person is invested, the relationship becomes unbalanced.

A Process Worth Trusting

-

 


There are times on the journey when it seems like nothing is happening. It may make you begin to question yourself—What am I doing this for? Does any of this even matter?
 But that’s when you must remember your why and lean into the process.
 (Remember your why—why you started.)
 Meditate on your why, embrace the process and allow your why to reignite the fire within you, the purpose that pushed you to begin in the first place.
If your efforts only reach one person—that one person deserves to receive the good you have to offer.
 It takes time, to see the pieces of your work come together, forming something whole, something impactful, something beautiful.
 Keep going. You’re building more than you know.

Bible Verse:
 "And let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." —Galatians 6:9 (NIV)

Affirmation:
 I trust the process of my journey. Even when I can’t see the results, I know purpose is unfolding. My efforts are not in vain.

 We carry within us what it takes to make it. Ask yourself are you prepared? 

 Stepping into the unknown can seem scary but with each step we must seek to find the balance.

You deserve to be happy, when we become intentional about what we want and work towards it daily, things start to shift and align. Let's erase the doubts and fears and use affirmations when needed to help us believe in ourselves more, so we can create the lives we truly want and achieve holistic wellness.
