What good is it?
Let us not be selfish. We are to be a blessing to others. If you don't share what you have been blessed with, it is not worth having and It can be taken away...”
I got this quote from my affirmations that I read every day. Every once in a while, something will stick out. This was it. How easy is it to expect for someone to do something for us, but then not even think to return the same gratitude to them? Or even to someone else. We live in a time where people are very much so about their own business. Forget what you are going through, its all about me. But if you think about it, how far can you get by yourself? We really do need to take time and do something good for others. Stop being so selfish with our time and our money and our thoughts and use that to be a blessing to someone else. Tomorrow is not promised, and it is true that all of the material things we gain down here will stay right down here when its our time to go. But won’t it make you feel like a better person knowing that you sacrificed that 20 you would have spent on lunch even when you have food at home to help a friend out with gas money? The saying that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away is so true. Really take some time and listen to your friend when they are saying that they need help. They might not outright say it, but you can always tell when there is a need. Try and do one nice thing for someone else everyday without the expectation that there will be a reward for you in return. You would be surprised at how much of a blessing you can be to someone else, just by being nice.
Peace.
