We often ask, "What's in it for me?" That is actually a good motivator for action when we know there is something to gain. Yet, God says to put others first. So, we need to also ask, "What's in our bucket for others?" Is it love, right thinking, right actions, forgiveness, and a desire for others to acquire blessings? Actually when we carry around the right bucket full of the right attitude and love toward others we will find out "what's in it for us" - A bucket of rewards from God!
"But love your enemies and do good and lend, expecting nothing in return and your reward will be great, and you will be the Sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil people." Luke 6:35
