because they love you

Morning Reading for July 25

This is a simple piece of advice:

Don’t ask the people to help you with something because it’s an easy task or because you’ll do something else for them in exchange, or because there’s a reason you deserve the help.

Just ask them to help you.

Because if the task they were helping with was easy, you could probably do it yourself. If you deserved the help, you’d already have it. And if they needed your help in exchange, well, they’d probably ask.

And when they do help you, remember: it’s not because it was easy, or because of what they got, or to get something. It’s because they love you.

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
