+God wants us to learn what real love is, what true love is. He does not want us to misuse love or
+actions of love to gain our own advantage. That is not love, it is just manipulation.
+So, when we give, and when this giving is coming from our love, we will not do it in a way to earn
+from it. To make it known to others in the way indicated here is to misuse our love. It destroys
+love - and Jesus clarifies that this will not help us at all, we had our reward already by taking
+the advantage which we organized for ourselves.
+True love is different. It wants the benefit of those who we love. It wants all the good things
+for them. And it does not expect things back for what is is giving. Of course, if you love someone
+you still can enjoy his or her love, you are invited to take what they give. But they are free
+to give their love. It is up to them to give it. You give your love, freely, yourself.
+Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. When we listen to him, we can see it. We can find out. We
+can come to this eternal fantastic life - he is waiting for us, each and every day!
