Inspiration & Paradox 7: Give in order to Gain -- 舍得

A colleague shared a beautiful, touching word in the Chinese language "舍得" (She De) which is made up of the word 舍 which means “to give” and 得 which means “to gain”, and the combination of 舍得 actually means “willing to part with”. How very true this is in life! We sometimes need to give up something in life in order to gain something else. And so did Jesus ever say “freely you have received, freely give.”
