For most of us, the default mode is to be on the receiving end. We go through life taking advantage of the generosity of others – whether it’s our parents, our friends, or society at large. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s natural to want to be cared for and nurtured.
But at some point, we must grow up and give back. It’s time to transition from being the one who needs help to being the one who provides it.
Think about all the people in your life who have helped you – how they were there for you in times of trouble, lent a listening ear when you needed to talk, or simply made you feel loved and supported. Now it’s your turn to return the favor.
Be the friend that others can rely on. Be the shoulder to cry on. Be the one who makes a difference in someone’s life.
It’s time to stop being the person who needs to be ministered to and start being the ministering one.
