Throughout many times in life there opportunities that each of us have to be a help to someone in their time of need.
Sad to say, there are times when a person doesn't mind helping someone if there is a possibility of some sort of gain in the matter or the deed.
You've seen it, you know, where somebody does something because others are watching or because there is some benefit to be had for doing something good for someone.
The bible even speaks on this matter, that when you do something, if you really want to be rewarded in a spiritual way, do it as unto the Lord and NOT for the show.
Now I'm sure there isn't anybody that would read this that has ever done anything like this, but as they say, "Just Saying".
I have found in life that if you really want to receive a blessing, then be a blessing to someone, keep in mind this doesn't have to always be some great task, it could be as simple as a helping hand, a kind word, or perhaps, even something as simple as a smile.
Think about this, If you ever want to really test the waters on what I am talking about here today, perhaps you may want to try this.
Be a help to somebody that you absolutely know without a doubt, that no matter what you would do for them big or small, they could NEVER repay you, keep in mind this doesn't mean that in doing so it comes without reward, but at least not from the individual that you are helping.
Wouldn't it be better to let God bless us than to have the praises of men? and instead of looking to see where you and I can get a blessing, let's be a blessing, and you know what? We won't be able to keep from be blessed!
May the very BEST that God has to offer be ours, as we do what he would have us to do.
Praying with you in mind,
