Notes About The Poem
Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received, without cost you are to give. St. Matthew 10:8
Just Give It Away
We live in a quid-pro-quo society
Help me and I’ll help you
I can help you get a better job
Lose weight and learn a new skill, but it’ll cost you
How radical then
To be directed to help others
Simply because we can
With no expectation of a return
Father Christ wants us to do
Share our gifts
Without thought of receiving
Spiritually, Emotionally or Financially
The amazing thing when we act in Father Christ’s name
We are repaid for more than we could ever imagined
In love, faith
And growth on our spiritual journeys
Lord, help me to love the way you desire
Unreservedly with no expectation
No reward
