We were made for relationships. We need one another to receive help and to give help to others in their time of need. Women everywhere are making a huge impact in the world. Don’t deny your God-given talent. There is so much that you can do, but the question is, are you doing it?
Helping others
We should not neglect helping others. There are people all around you who need your help and the only person that can give it to them is you. God gave you many talents. The question is, how are you investing those talents in others? Don’t close your eyes to the people in front of you who need your help.
- “People often forget that kindness is free.”
- “To make a difference in someone’s life you don’t have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful or perfect. you just have to care. ~ Mandy Hale.”
- “The strongest people make time to help others, even if they’re struggling with their own personal demons.”
- “Good people are like candles; They burn themselves up to give others light.”
- “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.”
Encourage and comfort others
Encouragement is huge. We can’t get through life without it. We need good friends who are going to ignite a fire in us when we are feeling cold. In the same way, we should desire to do that for others. Why do you think that there are so many biblical scriptures on encouraging others? God knows that we need it.
- “Don’t be too busy to encourage others.”
- “A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.”
- “Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress no matter how slow.”
- “Encouraging others means helping people, looking for the best in them, and trying to bring out their positive qualities.”
- “When you encourage others, you in the process are encouraged because you’re making a commitment and difference in that person’s life. Encouragement really does make a difference.”
Giving to others
Are spending on yourself, but neglecting other people? If so, then that needs to change. I’ve never noticed a person who gives responsibly and lovingly to ever become in poverty. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for other people. There are families starving. Giving is a way that we make sacrifices.
- “No one has ever become poor by giving.”
- “Your greatness is not what you have, it’s what you give.”
- “Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have.”
- “At the end of the day, it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished. It’s about what you’ve done with those accomplishments. It’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It about what you’ve given back.”
- “I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.”
Don’t expect anything in return
It’s so easy to give only so someone can pat you on the back. Be careful that you never turn like this. Giving should be done out of love. The best givers give anonymously. No one has to know. Give and help someone because you care for them.
- “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.”
- “If you’re helping someone and expecting something in return, you’re doing business not kindness.”
- “Don’t expect anything in return when I give you a gift, or simply attention – I do it because I want to show you that I appreciate you being in my life.”
- “When you give and don’t expect anything back, that’s LOVE…But if you give and expect a return, it’s an investment.”
- “If you expect something in return for being a nice person. You might not be a nice person.”
Motivate others
How are you motivating others to be better? Some people have the potential to do great things, but they need a little inspiration from others. Are you going to be that motivation for them?
- “I want to inspire people. I want someone to look at me and say because of you, I didn’t give up.”
- “Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire, and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame, and complain.”
- “Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate.”
- “Truly remarkable leadership is not just about motivating others to follow, it’s about inspiring them to become leaders themselves and setting the stage for even greater opportunities for future generations.”
- “Strong people don’t put others down. They lift them up.”
