It is helpful to remember (and then thereafter to re-Member) that we are all<br />

brothers and sisters of one another; that all man-made nationalities and categories<br />

and creeds and titles (including “enemy” and “friend”) are not of God (“There is one<br />

body and one Spirit … one God and one Father of all; Who is above all and through all<br />

and within all.” ~ Ephesians 4:4-6) – and then it is important for us all to go forth and<br />

act accordingly …<br />

SYNOPSIS: Generous Actions are Kind to others … They are selflessly<br />

giving, intimate in completion & self-sacrificial in intention.<br />

DETERMINING FACTOR: During decision-making, ask your Self -- “Is<br />

this particular option a self-centered or a selfless one? Am I engaging this Choice<br />

to obtain a benefit therefrom for myself or rather to Serve another?”<br />

ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURE:<br />

“Store up Treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume,<br />

and where thieves cannot break in to steal. For where your Treasure is, there<br />

your Heart will be also.” ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 6:20-21)<br />

“Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.” ~ Jesus<br />

Christ (Mark 9:35)<br />

“Whoever wishes to be great among you must be a servant, and whoever<br />

wishes to be first among you must become as a slave for all. For the Son of<br />

Man came not to be served but to Serve, and to Give his entire life as a<br />

ransom for many.” ~ Jesus Christ (Mark 10:43-45)<br />
