Hello, welcome to the featured week contest.
How is everyone doing here, we are all fine. Today, I had a stressful day and I'm exhausted already. I pray for God's strength and the ability to finish strong.
Sacrifice is a big thing for a fellow man to offer himself to in other to bring survival. Jesus Christ went through hurdles, pain, and persecution in the process of dying for the people on the cross; upon all His sacrifices, we still deny Him, forsake Him, and do things against His perfection. If Je could take this bold step to give himself to be used as the sacrificial lamb obeying the principles of the kingdom too in other life, peace, and restoration to the world, the same people would turn away from the pathway and He still loves us, how much more men, won't violate this principle when men do good to us.
Life is governed by rules and principles and if we violate it, it might not sit well with us. We wake up to see people make sacrifices for us and the same people turn out to pay in evil. This takes place in our society every day, as philosophies keep emphasizing that we can control our actions but can't control how people respond.
I have made sacrifices for a close person to make sure he is fine. I did all I could to put him back to his normal life, as God would help him; he got from his sick bed and looked ungrateful in my eyes because it was ungrateful in his heart; he couldn't come and say thank you for the sacrifices I made for him. I let it go and thank God for his life. Ask me, if you were him or another in that situation, what would I do? Of course, I would still offer my help and sacrifices; I have a caring heart.
My uncle's Dad, who is a pharmacist, had money and lived a comfortable life with his family. He is based in the United States. He was a man who didn't like people around him, known or unknown, to be in lack. Whenever they asked for something, he would not waste time giving out, like money, food, clothes, and many more. Was he doing good, sacrificing for the less privileged to be privileged? Yes, he did it. Ask me, where is my uncle today? The people he helped turned out to inflict sickness on him. He has been on the sick bed for years now, from hospital to hospital for special treatment. Omor, life eh eh? If you follow people you will not help or sacrifice for people again. Life is deep and we just need to be careful and diligent about it. In this generation we are, we offer help to people with wisdom. Without wisdom, you will give or sacrifice amidst. We need to be careful, and prayerful and ask for the leading of the Holy Spirit to instruct us on what to do before we move ahead to do so.
