BE SELFLESS

BE SELFLESS

Hey everyone. I am deeply sorry I have been M.I.A for a while now, been sick and tied down with work. But I have taken time outta my supposed busy schedule to pen this down

.

“I never intended to not give you what you asked for, it’s just that I need to keep it because I might need it later” and he ended his sentence with the usual am sorry just as I entered the office. She turned around reluctantly, feet shifting uncomfortably, oh I could also tell she was embarrassed and murmured a brief thank you and left. I politely asked what it was about and he simply said “She needed 400 naira to grab something to eat” and I vividly remembered how he had totally consumed  his meal earlier, consisting of rice and fish stew, I could also tell he enjoyed the meal cause he asked for another plate, you might say oh sue he must have felt the cash might come in handy later, but I would go ahead and prove you wrong to say that at the time I walked in that  guy had the cash to feed an entire colony of hungry people for a day and still have change left but he allowed her leave hungry and regretting why she asked in the first place.

See, selfishness no be only person wey no give another person food or material things in general, English man call am a total disregard of the welfare of another person, that one nah correct word. Lemme go back to the English now (laughing in French). So I concluded that it was about time I said my piece about the matter. As i sat down at my desk, laptop open ready to vent at the dude via writing a post and hoping he reads it and realize I am referring to him, it dawned on me that I was guilty of the same thing I was accusing him of.” Rom 2:1 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things NKJV” I may not be mean to that extent but still I had sides to me that would rather satisfy myself than the other person in the equation even if the person was dying or crying blood, most times I am usually on a personal vendetta mood or really don’t like that person and would refuse to help a person who is in dire need, but I have taken it upon myself to remind myself all the time that  it’s wrong to do stuff like that especially when I remember Christ, like I would say, striving towards being a perfect person every day so most times when I want to vent, I ask myself sue, are you guilty of the things you are trying to complain about or not?

In other words try as much as possible to do good to everyone that comes across your part, be it a friend| relation |or a stranger, try hard to put yourself in the persons shoes even if you might not benefit from that act of kindness. But God definitely rewards good deeds.Also try not to blow your high about the things you do for others (avoid hypocrisy). Be selfless just like Christ was to us, forgetting all about himself he came down from his throne to die for us and save us from self. So next time when you feel like telling that your poor neighbor, friend, relation, child, or stranger that you would not be able to help out think about what Christ did  for you and re-think your decision am sure inwardly you would feel happier that you were able to solve someone’s problem
