#FootstepsofGREATNESS [5d]
SECOND, DO GOOD ANYWAY & CLING TO GOD
I call this the rule of GODLINESS.
The most important thing to keep in mind when doing good is that your reward will not necessarily come from the people you once helped.
Truth is, some people that you've helped will get up and forget you. But if you are in God's plan for your life and have allowed godliness to direct your actions, you good deeds will produce good harvest. God can raise up total strangers as Angels to reward you.
PERHAPS the hardest group of people to deal with are those who will not only refuse to help you but are determined to hurt you for no reason.
This is what happened in the case of Joseph.
Joseph's envious brothers sold him off to slavery. His only crime was that he had a BIG PLAN. As a result, Joseph faced several mistreatment, humiliation and even unjust jail term.
But Joseph survived.
He did more than survive; he thrived and became a prime minister in the same land he suffered injustice.
In the end, those who sold Joseph into slavery became slaves who relied on Joseph for survival. But as is characteristic of great people, Joseph remained godly. He said to his brothers "you meant it for evil but God turned it around for good"
That's the point:
If you mean to do good for others and they turn around to do you evil, God will always turn it around for your good.
So, don't worry about people users, make big plans and be godly. Never repay evil with evil. Instead conquer evil with godliness.
In conclusion,
ONE KIND WORD for those who may have been hurt by people and have resolved to hurt other people in return.
Did you know that one of the reasons many people remain small is because they have ill intentions towards others no matter how justified they may feel?
Having ill intentions towards people will force you to not only withhold your hand from helping people but to also keep them grounded.
Truth is, the person you are determined to ground may not rise and you wouldn't either. A wise man said "to keep a man on the ground you would have to stay there with him"
LIFE is an association and the goal of every association is to help each other rise to greatness and not to keep each other grounded.
That's why the bible says two are better than one because when one falls the other can help him to rise.
So whatever you would that men do to you do so to them. Your actions are your seeds waiting for a harvest
People will sooner or later reap whatever they sow unless they repent.
The was the path the Great men and women ahead of us walked. If we walk the same path it will lead us to GREATNESS.
The End
Have a blessed weekend
