Beauty of love |
There is a question who should you care for? The answer is just simple but difficult to do. People will say that who they should care for is their mother, father, brother, sister, and many other relatives.
Meanwhile, that is not what is demanded of us as Christians. It is so because as Christ-like disciples, we must live like how He lived. The Bible says in John 3:16 that for God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. In this, everyone will see that God shows us love even when we do or are doing wrong and so what makes people think that who they should love should be their wife or mother. Before your target in life can be met and your inspirations nurtured until manifested into reality, you have to be someone who loves and care for everyone. This is just a short, simple, and brief update for you to know that God loves us with a type of love that we can't pay for and is always there for us and so why must we also not practice this? Loving someone entails helping, doing everything you think is of a good resource to support a person and lift him up from the depth of a problem to the excitement and a very gigantic joy. You must know that whatever you do to your fellow is not the fellow but rather God and so you do not expect anything from him/her again.
I encountered a student in secondary school who is respectful and determined academically. A serious one who is always punctual goes to school on time and makes sure that the classroom and the environment are swept every day on time. The colleagues were not like this fellow at all; they are reluctant to partake in any responsibility and also lukewarm towards academics. This serious student became a class prefect and found favor in the eyes of the various course instructors. He goes to call teachers for lessons on time and dislikes it when a tutor is absent. In contrast, the other colleagues are always joyous when a tutor is absent and they dislike it when the prefect goes calling a tutor for lessons. This persisted that the entire class was noted as stubborn which agitated some tutors to rarely go to the class for lessons. Most of the tutors go for the sake of this one student that shows seriousness towards his lessons and does the assignments even if all wouldn't do.
Luck never left the tent of this young and determined student and so he was nominated to be perfect for the entire school but he didn't want to for fear it might affect him academically due to his perception of the many duties associated with such a role. However, upon persuasion from his tutors, he finally accepted and the coursemates were very happy. Their motive for being happy was to misbehave and go unpunished because the prefect is in their class. Proceedings leading to the election were powerful and wondrous. After attaining this position, this guy spent most of his time studying and teaching other students from different classes that entreated him to help them. His tutors kept advising and admonishing him with all their empowering words and the young man never threw them away. He persisted in elegance and determination.
Finally, he completed with a good grade and found a place in one of the best tertiary institutions in that town. As a result of his humble nature and respect for authority, support came for him when the family could not pay the bills.
To be successful and enjoy the fruit of your labor, even love for all, and be ready to offer service as a servant is very essential and ideal. No one rises to the top with only his hard work or determination. Love for others and the support, advice, caution, and warning offered to people encountered in life come to meet you in the future as that long-awaited answer to your prayer. God works in ways we cannot see. Bible talks about the kind of love that surpasses all that '-it is the love that one lays down his life for his neighbor. Even though it can be a tough step or thing to do it really pays. Sacrifices offered that cause you pain are sometimes the major door openers in our lives but we tend to neglect them due to our unconsciousness of them.
Extend love to all who need it and they still come after you as the breakthroughs and wonders that marvel at you because they cause mighty loads to be lightened and hurdles removed.
