Extending Hands Of Love To All Starting From Home

Charity is a very popular word, many understands it while others don't really get the gleams of what it actually means. To me I will say that charity is love and the kind of love being spoken of here is a sincere love. Many profess love with their own definition. What I mean by their own definition is that they love the way they want to love because it is from a selfish mind. Charity in a storming sense is not selfish but theirs is in that way that they consider themselves first. How what they want to do will first be of benefit to them. So if anything they wish to do is not of any direct benefits to them, they lay it a side. This one is not charity at all. Charity originally is not self centered, first it considers how a thing will benefit others before considering himself. In this case, I am not saying one should die for another no, but there is this place of putting people ahead of whatsoever we want to do beginning from home.

Imagine taking up a project for a community and one don't have a direct benefit of it or there is not even a family member who will benefit from the project or someone of your faith.

This topic reminds me of some time past when I went to a school for some charity work. This is what I love doing always not for the gain of it or my faith sake. One of the schools I visited a teacher began to talk that we are just after the people from our faith. When I heard that it didn't go down well with me because first I didn't put that into consideration at all. Now she drew my attention to it and I was curious to know out of the 5 pupils how many are of my faith. Finally I discovered that it's just 2 out of the 5, the contact person was so worth bad at her colleague because at least for a while she have know me and how I operate. So I just decided to let it go.

Charity I strongly believe should take root from the house, because I have seen lots of persons who go out and are well valued and know as alm givers outside but their home is suffering. Some men are so kind when they go out but when they return home they become the lion of the tribe of their family which is so bad. It is not bad to enforce discipline in the Life of the family but let all be done with love.

Another point I want to make is that, ones giving most not always be something so big. A times we wait for that big opportunity for us to give to people we forget that we can start with the little we have. I don't have to be that big, as little as your good old clothes can go a long way in helping someone out there. At least for times in every year we go out to villages where we share some relieve materials and freebies to them. Just last weekend of last month we went to a village, on our way to that place I felt we were on the wrong part because of the nature of the road. This community didn't have an access road, we prayed with them for the government to remember them so they can construct a road for them. We also encouraged them to develop themselves in both skills and academically so they can be equipped to help themselves.

Genuine Charity does not lie and whatever way it is done it's always appreciated because of the sincerity in it. Charity when started in a little way also have the tendency to grow. The only challenge there is the starting. As we all know that starting a thing is not easy and much more is the maintenance of it because it takes the genuine at heart to do so, the most discouraging aspect is when the people it's been done for looks down on it because of their personal reasons which I shared above.
