Thursday 2 Cor. 4:13-15
"....This was, of course, a problem in the ancient world as well. So-called 'benefactors' gave gifts to people specifically in order to get a return, to enhance their social position, to look down thier noses at those who benefited from their generosity.
But when god gives things, and indeed when God gives God's own self to people, it isn't like that at all. It is a glad outpouring of who God is, which should never produce guilty indebtedness. God wants s to be grateful, of course, but only because he wants to enjoy the relationship that is thereby created, together with the richer flowering of our genuine humanity."

It is always difficult to receive God's gifts just as a matter of his loving grace. I keep wanting to "purchase" it someway. Good thought. Love, Mom
