Doing Good
*Doing Good*
Imagine fetching water from the well and turning it into a basket, so it is doing Good and receive no accolades.
Imagine doing good to someone, expecting at least an appreciation, but ended up getting nothing? Or perhaps, you invested time and resources into a relationship, business, academic, persons etc, expecting a form or returns in and from it but nothing came out of it?
You see, life don't always treat and give us what we want and deserve and especially what is due to us most time, but should that stop you from doing and being the good that you are?
I still remembered someone that I went completely out of my boundaries to assist back then in secondary, but do you know what, not a word or act of appreciation came from that fellow. But this never stopped me from doing the little good I can do whenever am oppurtune to do.
You should do good, not because of the applause you will get from it, but because it feels right doing good. You never can tell how a random act of kindness you show to someone will go a long way in bringing back hope and confidence to someone or maybe prompt another to be better.
Like the Biblical story of Mordecai exposing the plans to kill King Xerxes and after wards was forgotten, Mordecai never stopped doing good, he kept on with his good works and was somehow remembered and was given the privilege of a royalty.
So, whatever be the circumstance, keep on doing good, even if you don't receive accolades today, someday, the little good you did will speak for you.
