Somebody needs to hear this!
For those of you who work hard to help folks & don’t get the appreciation you deserve… Don’t change! I know you sometimes feel like you need to stop being nice, start telling folks a piece of your mind or cut everybody completely out of your life. But you doing that is outside of your character & it would only make you feel miserable. See, you are a helper, an encourager & the definition of a true friend. Plus, if you’re the one who’s always there for folks & been in their corner during their tough times, well, the problem ain’t you, it’s them. There are some folks who are going to be ungrateful or feel entitled, no matter how much you help them. But inspite of how you’ve been treated, know that you are loved, appreciated & is owed an apology. Don’t let this be a negative reflection upon you or who you are. Use this time to tell God everything that’s on your heart. He will teach you who to help, how much to help & when to offer tough love. Know that God is concerned about you & the folks you’re concerned about. So, inspite of those getting to you, turn them over into the hands of God, let Him deal with them & let Him protect your heart during the process. Be blessed! #brotherprater
