Luke 6: 38 "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Jesus has chosen the Disciples and given the Beatitudes. He has talked about turning the other cheek and loving our enemies. Now he explains how we should act.
Giving is my focus. With Ron so unable to care for himself, it's a real issue. The last time we were in similar circumstances, he walked all over the children and myself until he broke me down. I can't let that happen again, and yet I must be giving. I must somehow balance that with allowing the demands to become overwhelming and inconsiderate. I need help.
Prayer: I need guidance, Lord. I need to be giving without losing myself in the process. I must stand firm while yielding to the needs of my invalid spouse. It's not even really about an expected reward; it's about encouraging without enabling. Help me to see that path.
Amen
