Does bribing work with God?

BRIBING GOD

Yes, we all try to bribe God: if you give me this I will give you that.

Indians are big on this. They sacrifice goats, gold, jewels, fancy clothes, big money to their gods. They think if they only give enough of things (the primitives used to sacrifice their own to appease the gods), the gods will take care of them.  

Our turning to the power we call God always has its motives, too: keep me safe, make me win that contract; we adore Him or Her so the Power will treat us kindly.

We become good slaves so S/he will be a good master.

None of these will work without love. It is the only sacrifice required of us, and what a sacrifice! The more we give of ourselves, the more we become. The more we surrender, the more, and deeper, we are given of life.
