*PUT ON THE LIGHT FOR OTHERS TO SEE*
Many times, we put off the light that will help others just because we dont need it or care about others. Share the story below with me & take action to be conscious of the Needs around you & switch on the Light where you can!
"One day I visited a friend of mine, Blessing, who is blind. And because it was night she did something that taught me a lot.
Upon entering the house, Blessing switched on the light. And I asked her "Blessing, why did you put on the light yet you can't see?"... Blessing laughed for a long time, switched off the light and went to the kitchen, after a short while she came with a pot of tea and sandwitches, placed them perfectly well on the table and switched on the light again
What Blessing said made me shed tears because she said to me, Mary! ...... I did not put on the light for my own sake or because I needed it, I did it for you because you needed it since you are not blind like me".
Then she asked me, "Mary, How many times have you switched off the light for other people and denied them an opportunity to see light just because you yourself do not need it?". I thought about that so deeply & made a conscious effort to help those around me in whatever little way I can!
I ask you the same question today, *How many times have you put off your lights and denied others an opportunity to see the light while they are in darkness.*???
❌Why would you let your accounts grow to millions while your brother's child is going barefooted?
❌Why would you put clothes you don't wear in the bin while someone out there is almost going naked?
❌Why would food rot in your house while there is someone out there sleeping hungry?
❌Why would you be happy bc your colleague was affected in the present Downsizing? Dont you know that no condition is permanent?
*That is equivalent to switching off the light in the dark*.
Have a blessed week ahead while you turn on the lights you've switched off.
