What does it mean to love another person? Love is acting in a tangible way to benefit another person. It doesn’t always come with warm feelings, and it doesn’t always come with getting something in return. In fact, it often comes at a cost. And sometimes we must decide if we will keep loving when life is hard. Living in a broken world means that we are going to deal with problems, pain, and predicaments. We must choose to love amid these things, not to avoid these things. A reward is coming, but it won’t always come here and now. In 2 Kings 4 we get a picture of faithful giving with no expectation of immediate reward. We love when we don’t expect anything in return. Then God shows up and gives what no one else can give—a prize that will not fade and rust but made for a resurrected and forever life.
