My grandfather had a farm where he sowed by hand certain fields. He would strap on a canvas contraption, fill it with seed, and go out to sow. Everywhere, he would cast seed. It looks like a farmer is throwing away seeds when he sows his field. It seems to be lost, but it isn't really gone. In time he gets it back with much more.
When we give ourselves to Christ it may seem to some people that we are throwing away our lives. But He said that it is only as we lose our lives in Him that we find true life (Matthew 10:39)
Jesus teaches us to measure our lives by losses rather than gains, by love poured out rather than love poured in, by sacrifices rather than self-preservation.
It's a rule of life" God blesses those who give of their lives and resources (2 Corinthians 9:6)
Give your time, you'll have more time to give. Set no limit on your love, and you'll have more love for others than before.
