Long read, but so worth it: I am a firm believer in the assertion that the greatest of givers are also the ones who gain the most. When we have an open heart and we are willing to share with others what we have graciously been given, then we are becoming life changers in this world. What is a life changer? It is someone who takes the initiative to be a blessing for no particular reason. It is someone who wants others to rise higher, stand taller, achieve more and become all that God has made them to be. Can we do that? Can we effectively help to change someones life? The answer is yes. There are so many people in this world who are discouraged, disheartened and feel like giving up. When we take the initiative to be a blessing, we are not only helping others in their present circumstances, but also in their future to come. (Galatians 6:1-4) (Luke 6:31) We may think its a small thing to do a good deed, share a kind word, give a heartfelt hug, share a loving smile, but each of these simple gestures of love can do so much to show someone else that they are cared for, thought about and greatly loved. What we must always remember and keep in mind is that our kind acts dont stop with us. We can imagine them as pebbles thrown in a lake. Once the pebble is thrown, the ripple effects that come from it takes on a life of their own. But the ripples could not have been started until the pebble was first thrown in. That is how we should think of our life. We should see that every kind word, every kind gesture, every amount of love shown, every dollar given are just like pebbles thrown in the lake that will create ripples farther than the eye can see or the mind will ever fully know. (James 1:22-27) (James 5:7-11)
