Philippians 2:3 (NKJV) 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
Having the right intentions when doing things for others is the key in being a blessing and shining God’s light. Our motives have to be for the right reasons.
If we help someone out, do it because we really want to, not because we want to get something out of it. We shouldn’t do it because we feel pressured into it, but because we honestly and truly want to help them, with no strings attached.
Be careful when helping others that we don’t get stuck constantly being the one to pull them out of their troubles. God may use us for a season and then pull us away.
This isn’t to be mean or hurtful in any way. But seasons come and go, and sometimes the season for helping one person or situation may end so that the season for another may begin.
Having the right heart and discernment in what we do stems from knowing God, and getting close to Him.
