Giving and taking tends to be more than an activity of life. Everyone chooses whether he or she will be a giver or a taker as an attribute of life. Untrained children tend to be takers instead of givers. The problem with takers is that they take until they take away the very relationship that is keeping them alive. Takers often wind up lonely and don’t understand why. Takers are seldom truly happy or grateful. Of the 10 lepers that were healed by Jesus only 1 returned to give thanks. Why? They had spent their lives as takers and knew nothing else. Takers have a focus that is an unbiblical life focus that perverts their thinking into a way of thinking that is honestly dangerous. Haman had virtually unlimited power, money, and possessions, yet he was unhappy because he couldn’t have one other thing he wanted. He wound up hanging from his own gallows. This important message is a challenge to youth and their parents to know the joy that comes from being givers instead of takers.
