Have you ever wondered why people do wonderful unexpected things for you? I can tell you why. They may not even know it, but they are “Paying It Forward!” What are they paying forward? They are increasing their blessings. Some blessings could be in the form of support, financial increases, love, and even physical healing for them. Wow! That is deep. In this world that we live in, so many individuals are plain selfish with no regard for anyone. Increases in violence, thefts, and other evil deeds are prevalent. But the Bible tells us when we have the opportunity to do good, we should. Therefore it’s no time to get weary in well-doing.

Additionally, giving brings joy to the receiver and the giver because God is loving and kind and gives to us. Who else would provide the greatest gift of all? When “Paying It Forward!” to help someone else, we must do it without expecting any returns. First, if you wish for similar treatment, you might experience disappointment. Joy comes when there are no attachments or expectations. Secondly, the pleasure of paying kindness forward is doing it unexpectantly at any time with no prior planning.

Lastly, what is the motivation or thoughts behind this post? Specifically, understand that if we wholeheartedly do for someone else in need, we’re building up unexpectant blessings of things we may need or desire. Accordingly, some of our difficulties in relationships, finances, and other areas of life might turn around when someone else is “Paying It Forward!” to us. So, let’s do good knowing we serve a good God who diligently rewards us for our labors of love. Think about it. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Mathew 5:16. I’ll be back next week with a new post, “An Amazing Adventure!”

Be encouraged, and God bless!
