"Don't go near them. They're HIV positive"
"Be careful around these people. They'll take advantage of you"
"Sorry I can't help. I'm too busy with my own issues"
"Can you ask someone else? I'm not good at this"
Very often we face different issues with people.
Sometimes it's just that we're too scared to be near them simply we don't want anything to happen to us.
"Don't go near them. They're HIV positive"
Sometimes it's just because we want to protect ourselves. After all, its every man for himself.
"Be careful of these people. They'll take advantage of you"
Sometimes we're just too caught up with our own issues we can't be bothered about someone else's.
"Sorry I can't help. I'm too busy with my own issues"
And other times we just give ourselves excuses that we're not that person to help. Besides who would like burdens on their shoulders."Can you ask someone else? I'm not good at this"
Having someone to care for us is the greatest gift anyone can have. But having the heart to care for someone is an even greater gift. Many lives are destroyed because we, humans simply care just for ourselves. We're too afraid to get involve in anything that troubles us and simply too self absorbed to take upon anyone else's burdens. Our own is just too much to carry as it is.Then again...
Many lives have been saved because someone cared, someone gave a minute of their time to encourage and someone took time out to help even if it meant troubling themselves.
We'll never get all the answers right. We'll never be able to take away someone else's problems. But we can always do what we can. Lend a helping hand? Give someone a hug? Make someone smile?
Do we care enough to help someone even if it means troubling ourselves? Don't know about you but I'd like to see someone smile. That simple smile or simple thank you, is good enough for me. It's worth more than anything money can buy.
Daddy cared enough for us. Can we care enough for His children too?
Hope you'll see a smile today =)
Love always,
Me
