World seem to be divided into givers and takers
Usually we feel as though we are the givers and everyone else is a taker
We can draw back and become cynical - before long we cling to possessions, our rights or our feelings
At that point we have become takers
We would never admit it - and many of us do not see it
Jesus meet a man that was a taker - Matthew
Matthew was no different than us - he probably had a family with mouths to feed
As he left the office and crept closer toward the crowd surrounding Jesus
He heard the words - You must deny yourself and take up your cross and follow me
Jesus then walked up to Matthew and said "Follow me"
His life changed forever - became a disciple of Jesus
How did Jesus know? do it? Jesus knew that he was sick and need to get well - Mark 2:17
We need to see people as they ready are and what they can become
Is there some in your life you can share with but haven't because you don't think they are open?
