Without Return

Give without thought if return; give because another needs not that a debt can later be collected.  Without service we are but ingrates; without compassion we are but self indulgent wanders; without charity we are but undignified hoarders; without peace we learn no purpose nor does we accept unconditional love.  We must learn to give with our heart, act with our soul that we may see the truth of each moment and experience humanity as gifted from the Father not rendered in the chaos, the ego, the calamity it has become.  Living within humanity is the Father yet humans have chosen to ignore His presence with actions of discontent and alienation.  Exploration of the richness of peace, hope, and love take us to a greater good, a great moment for in this moment we are awakened by faith to a connection of the soul, a connection slandered by the ego while denied by pride.  Nonetheless, this moment reaches beyond the physical as it exposes the soul for what it truly is...the Father alive within our being, our means of wisdom beyond knowledge, the truth of our understanding without explanation.  Once tapped into the soul, we gain the ability to see that which we have never seen before, hear what we have never heard before, and feel that which we were told was an impossibility.  Dare we reach beyond words we will hear the speech of the Father; dare we reach beyond the physical we will see the glory of the Father; dare we act in faith we will feel the eternal presence of the Father, here, now, in this moment, a moment which will extend unto a lifetime.  It is when we hide among the shadows, when we delve into the darkened day with expectations of revenge, it is then do we lose sight of such connections, lose sight of our intimacy with others for we retreat within our mind, neglecting our soul, ignoring our heart.  That which we have become is ruled by thought projected by criticism forged by pride and perpetrated by the ego.  Indulged by self, we look not into the moment for the moment is categorized by want instead of need thus service, compassion, charity and peace become taboo never to be uttered as important, never to be discovered as life, itself.  Indulge, rather, in faith for faith makes that which was once dull, shinny; that which was monochromatic, a product of ROYGBIV; that which was once chaos, peaceful.  To preserve the dignity of humanity, every step must echo compassion, each word uttered must promise service, every action must seek only charitable gains, and every hope filled with peace for the indulgence lies in the Father’s Love which strengthens our every choice while motivating our every move.  The stranger is but our brother, the lost but our sister thus it is our duty to serve, to give of self that others may rest; to give of self that others may know the greatness of our God.  To give without hope of return is to act with the presence of faith and the endurance of the Father’s love.  Serve with compassion that the world may know the charity of love, the depth of hope and the truth of peace when faced with the reality of the Father.  Give now, act now, dignify love with actions of faith, molded by Christ, mimicked in love.  Give that others may know, give that others may become dignified in love, that they, too, may cherish their relationship with the Father mimicking actions of love.  Bound by love, the soul will intertwine with others who recognize the depths of our beings, the limitations of humanity, and the truth of our reality in Christ.  Give, be gracious and give from the heart, address the dignity of each person and love as the Father loves...unconditionally.
