Who Are You Helping?

 

Who Are You Helping?

The world has gone to a stage where you have no idea who to help, or if they will even appreciate it or end up criticizing and looking down on the help you offer.

There was once a man who was fighting a foreigner in his land. The countryman was almost killed when one of his fellow countrymen came and struck down his enemy.

You know the story of Moses in the Bible- when he tried to save his fellow Israelite from the hands of the Egyptian. After the help, the man who just got rescued began to boil over and said he didn’t need any help. “Do you want to kill me like you killed the other Egyptian yesterday,” asked the man who had just been saved.

I know you are a good person. If not, then you should try to be a good person, but the point is that being good should not land you in trouble as it did in the case of Moses above- he had to flee the land. He became an outcast in a foreign land.

When next you offer a helping hand, try to know who you are helping, not because you would want them to return the favor, but because they just might bite off your hand after you feed them, and probably send you into exile.

Do not be charitable to someone who will not appreciate it. Save up the good you intend to give people who will not appreciate it and add it unto those who will do appreciate.

If someone claims they are too big to be helped, draw yourself back and watch as they let their ego, pride, and arrogance catch up and deal with them.

Finally, find people who will appreciate your kind gestures and be good to them, and avoid those who will only complain about the little you have tried to do for them; there are plenty of both, and you only need to find the right persons and keep doing well to them.
