It's Good to Help Others

 Helping others helps yourself…

Ol Zig Ziglar said it best; "You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want."

It’s simple and a spiritual principle but sometimes our human nature that is based on self gets in the way.

Now maybe it’s different for you, but I have this crazy self-centered selfish ego that tries to get me to believe the illusion that everything is about me.

Luckily, I have the ability to turn my will and my life over daily to the trust and care of God and this quiets my self-centered thinking.

This allows me to go about my day and sure enough, that spiritual principle is true.

When I look to see how I can help others first, I usually wind up getting blessed beyond what I can imagine.

How’s that working out for you?..

Check your experience…

“Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too” Philippians 2:4

Lord, let us turn our will and our lives over to You daily and look first to see how we can help others, AMEN.

“Helping others is the foundation stone” Big Book pg 97

Encourage Others!

You catch more flies with honey... 

Have you ever noticed that the people or things that initially get and hold your attention best use an approach that is tailored to saying or showing good stuff about you? 

It’s human nature to like to see and hear things positive about us. 

Life lessons school teach us to make a sandwich with our words when dealing with others. 

Start with a slice of positive bread, layer the meat of correction or opportunity in the middle, and then finish with the final slice of encouragement bread on top. 

This is a biblically based principle that works far better than intimidating others with negativity and harsh words… 

Check you experience… 

"A new life has been given us or, if you prefer, a design for living that really works" Big Book pg. 28 

Lord, let us use the eyes of our heart to look for and see the good in all people, places, and things today, AMEN. 

"So let’s agree to use all our energy in getting along with each other. Help others with encouraging words; don’t drag them down by finding fault." Romans 14: 19-21 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Don't Judge

But I just wanna be judged by my INTENTIONS while I judge you by your ACTIONS. ...

Well that’s just dandy isn’t it?!?

Maybe it’s just me, and perhaps you cannot relate, but the “committee” in my head that tries to run my life, otherwise known as my selfish self-will, tries to make this a policy for me all the time.

Thank goodness I have tools to veto their vote and the key to lock them back up deep in my mind.

Why is it that I have this fear-fueled, pride-based notion that I have the right to judge others only by how I view their actions and at the same time expect them to overlook my actions and judge me by my intentions?

Over the years and through many painful lessons I have learned that I must first walk in another person’s shoes before I even attempt to understand them.

I have no right to judge another person.

That is for God to do.

My job is to try to love, tolerate, and accept others as best I can and allow them to have their own opinions of me.

How is your relationship with the committee in your head?..

Check your experience…

“Love and tolerance of others is our code.” Big Book pg. 84

Lord, let us set aside our preconceived notions and give our best efforts to love and tolerate others, AMEN.

"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.” Matthew 7:1-2

Have a blessed day Y’all!
