Every once in a while the opportunity to help someone is put before me. More often than not it is easier for me to ignore.
Going out of my way to help someone takes effort. If I’m being self-centered, I won’t make the effort.
The call to help someone else is a call from God. Helping someone else gets me to look away from my selfish interests and to look instead at God’s interests.
Helping someone else brings me closer to God.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
