There is Honor in Selflessness
We have all heard the expression "Good Samaritan" and understand that it refers to an individual who gives without seeking things in return. One of the strongest reminders of the honor that is brought by being selfless is when we encounter someone who helps us without showing any interest in reciprocity. Let's not wait until someone reminds us to be kind without expectations or retribution, let's be kind for kindness sake. I have met many people in my career who genuinely have expressed their desire to help me, which has been quite refreshing, since we all know that there are so many people with hidden agendas when offering their help. Where does the Honor come in here? When we can proudly lift our heads up high and recognize that we have impacted someone's life by being selfless. I challenge you today, to reach out to someone who needs help and lend a helping hand without expecting anything in return. But I hate to spoil a good ending... God will honor you by blessing you in return.

To be selfless...
I'm afraid this rabbit hole goes much deeper. In order for every flower to grow a seed must die. Our minds are the gardens of the Lord. In each mind are many seeds and each seed is 'self'. In order to become a servant of the most high your entire 'self' must die. Through this wonderful death you can bloom and bear fruit. The Lord who is a gardener will prune any unfruitful branch, and through his holy spirit the lilies can grow.
The Lord disciplines the ones He loves, so when you find yourself in the refiners fire do not turn away from the Lord, but REJOICE through the trials, hold on to your integrity and you will come out like pure gold, reflecting His image.
