Givers and Takers

GIVERS can spot TAKERS. If the giver is BATMAN, the taker is the JOKER. Anyone who can TAKE from you & then try to discredit you is a joker. If you let takers take advantage of you...then the joke is on you. ‪#‎lessonlearned‬

Don't stop GIVING, just be wiser about who you let TAKE from you. God will send you some of the best people on the planet to walk in true covenant relationship with. They won't USE you to get what they want from you & then ABUSE the relationship you afforded them. They will be LOYAL, FAITHFUL & TRUE.

Over the years, I've allowed my good nature to be taken advantage of. At one point, I said, "never again." However, the love for people & the call to raise sons pushed me past my own hurt. God turned it & what was meant to harm me catapulted me. My advice now is - remain sweet, forgive quickly, stay tender hearted and walk in truth. God will uphold you & you won't even have to say a word...even when you could have.

Never stop GIVING. Inspect the soil, before you scatter the seed. You'll still encounter losses, cry tears & make yourself vulnerable...but it's worth it because God is keeping watch & He's entrusted you with this assignment. He knows your heart & He knows exactly what the future holds.

Remember this...what goes around comes around. Anyone who has sought to do you harm will experience the same measure in their own life...without any help from you. The best thing you can do is just be prayerful, loving, forgiving & future focused! Your best days are ahead of you!

If God allowed it, He will use it. You will grow from it & be the better for it. You're wiser. You're stronger. You're not a pushover! Love everyone & keep it moving.  ‪#‎RemainAGiver‬
