"Cure the sick, raise the dead,
cleanse lepers, drive out demons.
Without cost you have received;
without cost you are to give."
(Matthew 10:8)
The Lord calls us to action, encouraging us to use our gifts and talents to help others without expecting anything in return.
Giving freely is often associated with generosity, kindness, and charity. "Each one should give what he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Cor 9:7).
Remember, helping others is not about receiving anything in return. It is a matter of personal choice and attitude, not obligation or duty. It’s about making a positive impact on someone’s life and making the world a better place and inspiring others to do the same.
