Intentions Speaks Louder Than The Acts
A blessed week to everyone in this community and beyond
The gift of a make makes room for him have been used by many persons on different occasions and many tend to use it to suite them.
Motive is the hidden reason why someone is doing a thing, many attach varied reason to what they do. There are those that will never do a thing if there is no direct benefit they will be getting from, while other will do a thing and who gets the glory from the good deeds does not matter to them at all, to me this is the best form of goodness. Give and it shall be given to you according to the holy book does not imply that you will receive the goodness from the source you gave it.
It actually matter the kind of heart one is giving his goodness. If goodness flows from a pure heart it attracts more blessings. On several occasions I have seen myself releasing goodness to people and they just boast into tears with the exclamation, you are God sent. In this situation you find out that some of them already given up but God just used me to come true for them.
Now, along the line there is a said favour that comes to me that links to the goodness, sure I won't reject it.
About giving to Charity
This form of giving is one we give to those who will not pay us back. Accessing these people's condition, there is no way they will pay us back because looking at what we gave to them, they still need more. What I have at the moment is not sufficient enough to care for a Charity home all I can do is to contribute my quota while I leave the rest to wishes. On several occasions I have also seen myself visiting Charity home and I share about it not to receive the glory but as a means of getting more help for them.
I remember partnering with a guy for an outreach to a school where my friend took the bills of providing uniform and writing to over 90 pupils. Now my contribution there was not much because I was just starting. This guy who didn't give a dime went ahead to publish all over social media and made lots of money from it while we just kept mute about the whole thing. Some people make noise about little projects because they want funds, blow trumpet over little things and keep the rest of the money in their pocket.
Many people in my country do things like this when they have access to foreign aids and when the donors discover what they do they just cut off the sponsorship and find it difficult to believe the genuine ones.
Discovering that someone just want to make noise with little favour given to me will just make me avoid such people, because that does not make sense in any way. The intention behind anything we do is also important as the act we do. If the intention is not clear there is no point doing it at all because no blessing will come from it. The blessings that comes from above worth more than the praise received from men.
My entry to the first edition of week #126 of #hivelearners contest. Thank you for stopping by my blog
Some people only give to others in order to boost their ego and so that they'll present this perfect image to the public, meanwhile their heart isn't full of goodness.
My dear, that's the world.
It's always good to help with a pure heart, and no intention to benefit in return.
We all deserve help and doing it normally usually attract blessings.
So true, thanks boss man
Giving from the heart is the true definition of giving, not the ones that you will carry camera and everyone will see
That's the true form indeed
I think the same as you, when I discover that I have been used for a charitable act that generates dividends, I cross that entity or person off my friends list. When you help, it should be spontaneous, from the heart, showing that you are generous makes a big difference.
Yes my dear, we should not blow the trumpet for self glorification...thanks...
Yes dear I believe also that when we do our charity work, it should not be to those who can pay us back. But to the less privileged.
Thanks for sharing
Yes my dear, that works better
