As we grow older each day, we must learn not to expect too much from people. We may pour a good deal of energy and love into a friend or someone who needed your help and see no growth or receive no gratitude for our efforts. Worse still, others may receive the credit for the work we have done.
In such a situation, we will certainly feel deeply hurt.
In such a circumstance, it is appropriate that we look deeply at our motives.
Do you really need to have such an unholy sense of entitlement, or a passion to be seen and applauded for our efforts ?
We should never expect to gain from others what only Jesus can give. Out job is simply to give and leave the results to HIM, knowing that in time we will receive HIS reward.
2 Timothy 4 : 16-17
No one stood with me, but all forsook me…… But
the Lord stood with me and strengthened me.
