Last night I decided to take another look at the story of the good Samaritan in the Bible.
I know you are wondering why!?
I did that because of something I saw on TV.
A couple of volunteers were serving food (really nice food) to some hungry and homeless people in Syria. I really admired the enthusiasm with which they were doing this great service.
What really got my attention were two little cute boys of about 10 and 9 years who were serving alongside the other grown-ups. They were pretty excited about the work they were doing .
I was really inspired!! I was grinning like a bobcat, I felt like reaching out to them and give them a bear hug. And I thought to myself "that's the beauty of life" . Being able to put smiles on the faces of others.
Just like that good Samaritan.
Whatever opportunity you get, to do good. Make the most of It..
Irrespective of whether the person is your friend or relative. Even if it's a complete stranger. Be kind to them.
You don't need to be super rich or influential to leave an impact in this world. The impression you leave in the hearts of men is the best influence you can have.
Just like the levite and the priest in that story, so many people become successful and forget to reach out to others, forget to give back.
They climb to the top and kick down the ladder they used to get there, denying others the opportunity of getting to the top with them.
That's a very boring and sad way to live, don't you think?
The beauty of life is in helping others.
Throw away your title
Forget about our differences
Become deliberate about doing good to someone this week.
Volunteer at an NGO
serve in a church
Visit the orphanage
Help a widow or an elderly person
Say a kind and encouraging word to someone
Inspire and motivate someone
Let's make the world a better place one day at a time.
God bless you!!!
