(Be A Helper And Lifter Of People)
TO THE BIBLE: Proverbs 11:24-25 NIV
“One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”
LET’S TALK
It’s not enough to live a long life; it’s what you live for that really matters. Some people have lived for more than a hundred years but made no impact in the lives of those around them; there was just nothing significant about their lives.
They were always taking, never giving back or contributing meaningfully to their society. Are you contributing positively to the advancement of the lives of those around you? This is a question you must ask yourself and truthfully answer.
Choose to live a meaningful life, one that will make the world move forward, positively touching the lives of others. Be a blessing to others, and you’ll always be lifted, for you’re lifted as you lift others! Your promotion is in your promoting others. Your success is discovered when you help others become.
You’ll never discover the treasure God has deposited in you until you reach out to help someone else become something. Remember what the Scriptures say in Proverbs 11:25 (GNB), “Be generous, and you will be prosperous. Help others, and you will be helped.”
If you’re aspiring to be a leader in whatever capacity, help people realise their dreams for success. God is interested in lifting you when you derive joy in other people’s progress.
Help those around you to be strong and fulfilled; let them be glad that they met you because you played a part in them making a success of their lives.
