EVERYBODY NEEDS HELP
Help is a blessing. It divides your physical and mental labour.
Sometimes it doubles your strength. There are cases where help is totally
indispensible as in the upbringing of a child. This world runs with the help of
all its inhabitants.
Help is defined as : aid, assistance, guidance, support,
contribution, benefit, advantage, co-operation, encouragement, ratification,
confirmation, etc.
Where human help is in accessible, it is divine help which
comes through prayer to God. God helps everybody. His nature is to strengthen,
invigorate and uplift you. However, it is also true that God helps those who
help themselves.
The devotees of God are never helpless. God is an eternal
friend and companion.
I have heard people say that nothing happens without the will
of God.
Here are some thoughts on the theme of help:
*Help
thyself and God will help thee. -----English divine and Poet George Herbert (1593-1633).
**When a
person is down in the world, an ounce of help is better than a pound of
preaching. ---- Lytton Bulwar, English novelist, (1803-73).
***Light is
the task where many share the toil. (Homer, ancient Greek poet , born 8th
century BCE).
****God be
praised, who, to believing souls, gives light in darkness, comfort in despair. “William
Shakespeare, English poet-dramatist (1564-1616).
*****God has
so ordered that men, being in need of each other, should learn to love each
other, and bear each other’s burden. (George Augustus Sala, English journalist (1828-95).
Finally, this famous quote: We are
not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other, if you
are there always for others, then in
time of need, someone will be there for you.
