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.

Example Of A Man On Purpose

-

 

Imagine being perfect…
without sin, without deceit, without evil.

Imagine healing people, feeding people, loving people, teaching truth, performing miracles, and still being rejected.
Still being mocked.
Still being betrayed.
Still being hated.
Still being sentenced to die.

He did so many good works, yet people still wanted Him dead.

That alone reminds us that doing good does not always mean everyone will understand you, accept you, or appreciate you. Sometimes people reject what convicts them, misunderstand what they cannot control, or fight against what carries truth and light.

Yet through it all, He still chose love. He still chose obedience. He still chose sacrifice.

  

When life gets too hard to stand, kneel.

The Lord is righteous in all His ways and gracious in all His works. Let heaven and earth praise the Lord.

“I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her.

No matter how difficult life feels right now, do not lose heart. God still sees you. He still has a plan. He still has promises with your name attached to them.

Keep praying. Keep believing. Keep moving forward in faith. 🌿
