ADDING VALUE TO LIVES

SCRIPTURE: “All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him” - 1 Samuel 22:1-2 (NIV)
 
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You have not started living until someone’s rise is connected to you.
 
It has been established that the most valuable life is a life that adds values to other people’s lives. You have not started living until someone’s rise is connected to you. True satisfaction in life is not in your material possessions but in the number of lives you have positively affected.
 
Let me share with you an encounter: Sometime ago I met a classmate of mine who graduated with me many years ago. I was surprised to discover that he was not yet married as at the time we met. When I asked him what happened, he said that he had fixed his wedding date for that year but did not get the money he was expecting, so he postponed the wedding till further notice. I was highly touched! How could such a mature man remain unmarried for this long?  I told him to re-fix the wedding date and let me know the bill. Later on, I also started making arrangements for him to be profitably engaged in what will generate income in order to be able to fend for his family.
 
The tragedy is that there are people who will see such persons and turn a deaf ear on their plights.
 
Beloved, eliminating the frustrations, confrontations and battles of others is living life to the full.
 
Remember this: You have not started living until someone’s rise is connected to you.
