Are You Acting Based On God Instinct or Learned Behavior?

Sometimes we hesitate doing things for others (even though we know they need it) because we have been so conditioned to look for a ROI.   A "Return On Our Investment".    We have to change our mindset.    The Bible tells us over and over and over again ... to give.   The Bible showed us what sacrifice really means.    The Bible revealed to us what it means to show love.    We have to change the mindset of always wanting something in return or needing to see something.   We have to truly believe that we have a heavenly reward.   

Learn how to be led by God to give.    Lean how to act on God instinct and not man's training.     Instinct is defined as a way of behaving, thinking, or feeling that is not learned : a natural desire or tendency that makes you want to act in a particular way.  The expectation of a return on your investment is a learned behavior.  Whereas, acting and responding in love is a God instinct.    There are things that God will tell us to do that may not make sense in the natural but that is how God operates.    Did it make sense in the natural for a virgin to give birth?   Did it make sense in the natural for the Red Sea to divide?   Did it make sense for a man to walk on water?   Understand ... God's direction goes beyond the natural senses.   That is why you are required to walk by faith.
