Being a blessing when you can't see the blessing!?

I know at times we go through our daily routines thinking about ourselves and what we need to get to that next place in our lives. We are so focused that we can't channel in on the needs or wants of others. I'm always so concerned about what this person needs and what that person needs that I sometimes miss out on what I need.

I've not always been the one to put someone else before myself but I believe God has created me to be a help to those in need and I am finally accepting my calling. I have always found the person who was distressed, torn down and unappreciated to try to give them a voice. I have at times been too passionate about giving that voice that I have been said to be a trouble maker.

It pains me to see people misused, abused, manipulated, torn down and unappreciated. It pains me to see someone trying so hard to be the best that they can be, all awhile someone's tearing them down because they don't move fast enough, think smart enough, speak intellectually enough, have enough, or just think enough of themselves. I appreciate being the one to make them feel better about themselves, to believe in themselves, to grow and blossom into being great people of God just because they knew me.

It's not easy to give of yourself. Sometimes it is a great sacrifice. Sometimes it's putting your dreams on hold, giving out the abundance of your heart an amount that may put your bills on hold, keeping you from taking that next vacation, keeping you from getting that extra hour of sleep, keeping you from hanging out with your friends.

I always say that time is something everyone can afford to give. It doesn't require a salary, it just requires a heart and the will to do. You can be a blessing by making it to someone's special event even if you can only stay for a second, posting someone's special event on your Facebook wall; it's just an extra click, telling someone outside your circle that you love them and truly say a prayer for them in silent or aloud, giving someone outside your circle a hug; someone's day just might be waiting for you to open your arms up to them. You can be a blessing by just being open for whatever someone may need from you. The greatly blessed people in the world are the ones who aren't afraid to give of themselves to others.

We can sometimes be a blessing even when we don't see how much of a blessing we are. Just listening to God and taking lead from Him can cause you to stumble up and be a blessing to someone.
