Original Pinoy Mindset 2

UTANG NA LOOB!

Mindset - things that we do not think much about it but we do it anyway.

-          Set in the mind

Do good (period) – Utang na loob (inner being)

§  You never know when to pay it in full

Deliver – expect something in return

·         Expectation exceeds political, legal, moral, emotional, financial manners (manipulative)

Receiver – looking for ways to payback

·         Enslaved by utang na loob/burden

·         Should not be in a place of bondage where you don’t have a choice

Bondage  vs. Freedom to give

·         A favor no matter how small, is a debt we must never forget since no money can ever fully repay it

Romans 13: 8 – continuing debt

-          We are indebted to each other

-          Obligation to love one another

-          Forever debt (continuing receiver)

GIVER

1.        Galatians 6:9 – do good to everyone

2.      Do it without manipulating

3.      Sowing and reaping

4.      Bless not curse

5.      Love causes you to do good

TIME – “chronos" time itself

                “chyros” timing

·         When you expect something, don’t expect it from a person but from God

(in God’s time)

RECEIVER

1.        Always look for opportune time to return

2.      You should not be doing good in bondage of returning something

3.      Do good because you want to do good

*** Just do good not because you want something in return ***

NO STRINGS ATTACHED

Romans 5:8

 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Do good not because you want to but because you have the heart to do so
