Why you should never give the best of yourself to dogs and pigs

Some of us spend most of our time, money and resources trying to help people - friends, family and loved ones. Sometimes we get little appreciation in return. Saw this article online and i think you should read it and pick which category you fall into.

“Do not give the best of yourself to dogs and pigs for they will not only trample upon what you give but turn around and bite you in return” - Matthew 7:6

If you spend your life giving to someone who does not appreciate, respect, value or even care for you, then you are allowing this person to suck the life out of you and they will keep sucking until there is nothing left.
Majority of people fall into one of the following categories.


1. People who give and expect nothing in return.
These kind of people are rare and often fall victims to heartless takers. The problem is because these

people have such a big heart and desire to care for others, they keep giving and the taker keeps taking until there is nothing left. If this is you, then you can only seek happiness in the company of givers like yourself. Let your inner circle be selfless givers like yourself and guard your heart with all diligence cause out of it flows the issues of life.

2. People who give and expect you to appreciate them for it.
These kind of people are selfless givers but love to be appreciated and recognized for their giving. Very much like myself. It can be seen as a sense of arrogance by most takers because they can't help but be ungrateful for taking; however, it is also a form of insecurity. Selfless Extroverts are normally like this. The need to be recognized and appreciated is intrinsic to their nature but the closer they get to God, the more secure they become. They need to know that the more selfless they are, the closer they get to God’s nature who recognizes and appreciates what they do. Once they can see this, no one and nothing else matters. If you are in a relationship with this kind of a person, lovingly make them aware of their insecurity while appreciating their willingness to give and in time they will become selfless givers.

3. People who give and expect the same treatment in return.
People like this are often the kind of people who say things like 'An eye for an eye', 'I had no choice’, ‘he did it to me too' or 'If he does it why can't I? These people normally don’t understand the core principles of loving your neighbor as yourself and loving your God with all your heart, soul, body and mind. They are more like: treat your neighbor as your neighbor will treat you and only show love to God when he blesses you with a new car, house or fat pay cheque. In a nutshell, they are selfish and confused people who are no short of being takers themselves. They are not really givers, they are what you call Wolves in Men’s clothing – Their philosophy is: ‘As long as I need you, you can stay until I have no use for you.’ Never get into a relationship with these kind of people. By their fruits you shall know them, just give it time. For time reveals the value of a product after a while. Remember, these people give for an ulterior motive so always ask the question: What is it you really want? You tend to get an answer because they either feel caught out or excited they are about to get what they want.

4. People who will never give until they have first been given.
Normally these kind of people used to be selfless givers but due to being constantly abused by takers, they have refrained from giving and now protect their heart from everyone including the selfless givers. They come across mean, critical and cynical initially but its all a front. Deep down inside, they are looking for a reason to give and give abundantly. They are just afraid of being burnt again. if you are this kind of person, you need to heal in order to enjoy the rest of your life in abundance. Spend time with God and most importantly, don't blame yourself for being so open and vulnerable. In order to give you must become vulnerable. This is why you need the right inner circle of friends around you. If you do, then what you are saying is God made a mistake making me the way I am. There are no mistakes when it comes to wonderful people like yourself. You just fell into the hands of an adulterated mind. Your giving nature is what the world needs but once again, ask for the spirit of discernment in order to identify the takers from the givers. Surround yourself with selfless givers like yourself and keep your eye on your enemies (takers). They can be smarter than you think. Your greatest strength is your greatest weakness in the hands of a cruel and calculating taker.

5. People who just take and never give anything back.
Now to the flipping evil bastards the world could do without. These people are the reason the world is in the chaotic situation we are in today. They do not understand the principle of giving. Their mindset is twisted, demented and filled with so much greed and envy. Their philosophy is take or be taken from. They feel that if they give, they are loosing out. The principle of seed time and harvest time only exist in their calculating plan of how long it will take for them to take all you have and leave you with nothing. Beware of these evil pricks as they are patient and extremely cunning. They are like snakes. Once they get hold of you, they will wrap their mighty muscles around your life line and keep squeezing until there is nothing left to give. For every air you give back, they squeeze even harder so you can't take in any more. If they do let you breath, it's to finish you off later. These people come in forms of Players, Gold Diggers, Politicians, Insecure employers, Greedy companies, Racist police officers, cheating partners, selfish parents and the list goes on. Remember, by their fruits you shall know. And how do you tell the fruits of a tree? By waiting! Time is the greatest revealer of all things. As a selfless giver, remember what Jesus Christ said, do not give the best of yourself to dogs and pigs. How do you know a dog or a pig? By their nature and characteristics. No matter how they may disguise themselves, a dog can't pretend for too long, it will always bark at some point and you only need to let it out and it starts sniffing the whole field.

Remember, Takers never get better, they get worse unless arrested by God or something tragic happens to them.
People who take and take and take will always blame when you have nothing more to give without ever going back

Falling in love with a TAKER is like falling in love with a CANNIBAL. No matter how much you love the cannibal, it still will not stop him wanting to kill you and eat you until there is nothing left to eat.
