Circumstances change
History teaches that great leaders have always left a mark in the world. This is not because of what they did,but because they mentored others to take the baton after them. In the nations where leaders became egocentric,there’s no progress. No one is permanent,power is temporary. Only God’s power is infinite.
As the saying goes,the graveyard is where unfulfilled dreams,wasted potentials,unfulfilled promises are,the pertinent question is,what will you be remembered for? What will people talk about behind you? Can you lean back and give a helping hand to someone?
Today if God exalts you,then it means He wants you to lift up someone. Let that power given to you shine and illuminate someone else. A candle does not loose its light by lighting another one and you don’t loose your value by lifting up someone,but rather it increases.
And when that time comes when you take a bow,you will smile to the world and say “let me take a rest,I have done it”
There is that moment which we all long for, when we want to be alone and reflect on our lives and chart the way forward, the moment when we don’t want any disturbance but a total bliss, peace and serenity.That moment, is the only moment where we are one with the Lord and in that deep meditation, we can make a great decision in our lives which will surely succeed. We can’t move ahead of God,because His timing is perfect as His word says “Be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” -Hebrews 13:5
Sometimes you just have to appreciate where you are. You came a long way and you’re still learning and growing. Be proud of yourself.
Never judge someone without knowing the facts
A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor.
On seeing him, the father yelled, “Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have any sense of responsibility?”
The doctor smiled and said, “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”.
“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies while waiting for doctor than what will you do??” said the father angrily. The doctor smiled again and replied, “We will do our best by God’s grace and you should also pray for your son’s healthy life”.
“Giving advises when we’re not concerned is so easy” Murmured the father.
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy, “Thank goodness! your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running by saying, “If you have any questions, ask the nurse”.
“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left. The nurse answered, tears coming down her face, “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was at the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”
Moral: Never judge anyone because you never know how their life is and what they’re going through.
I decided to post this to help someone understand the fact that,we are all going through challenges in life and if you find someone willing to help hold your hand, be grateful knowing that they had to bend down and take your hand.And they had to stop what they were doing so that they can focus on you.
Always be grateful for the people you have in life and learn to say thank you instead of criticizing.
Friendship
Call those people who mean something to you, those who have touched your life,those who can and do make you smile when you really need it, those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, and all those whom you want to know that you appreciate them and their friendship. Everyday we have the choice of building fences or bridges. One leads to isolation and the other to openness. Many people are lonely because they built walls instead of bridges.
Sometimes family is not biological. Sometimes your family wont be always there for you but you may find it funny that people totally not related to you can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust people again. And show you that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help. Always take care of your friends and never leave them,because they can walk with you to the ends of the earth without asking for anything in return.
True friends can have your back. They can face you with painful truths because they want the best for you. This are the people who understand all your weaknesses and still keep you in their circle. And to have someone like that is rare,so when you have one never let go of their hand.They are the people worth keeping
A good friend will be strong enough to hold you up when you are weak and wise enough to point you to the right direction. The will stab you in the front and not on your back. They will hurt you with the truth and not assuage your feelings with lies. Because they know that leaving you alone you will fall down.
