Not everyone will go the extra mile in forgiving, giving and doing service.
To go the second mile is to love without limits. Nobody says it's easy. In fact, it is hard, and has no guarantee of any earthly reward.
But it is a journey of love, kindness and selflessness. And anything that is done out of love is worth the journey.
Go the extra mile today. There aren't traffic jams in there.
Matthew 5:41 - "If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles."
Most of the time, we associate truth with what is real and visible. It could be a change of status, a way of life or a way of thinking.
But so is deception. We can always exchange lies for truth if we are not careful.
There has to be a guiding principle for truth. For real freedom comes from real truth.
God's word is real truth. It pierces the soul but it also liberates. It can cause real pain, but it also strengthens. It can cause a whole night of crying, but it can also bring joy running over in the morning.
Truth is beautiful. Truth is precious. The beauty lies in its giver, Jesus Christ, the Truth Incarnate.
Know what is true. Learn God's Word today.
The Merriam Webster dictionary describes "self-made" as being "made rich and successful by his own efforts". In part, yes, that's true. But in reality, one's own effort is never enough to bring him to success.
There has to be always somebody, or a team, who has worked silently in the background to assist you in your success. No man is an island. We all need each other's input and labor of love. Man is designed to work interdependently with one another.
So, today, remember the people who have worked quietly behind the scene to catapult you to where you are now. They deserve your "thank yous" if not your "hugs".
Good day peeps!
