Pay It Forward

Isn’t that an interesting phrase? God, the whole concept of Christianity, is “pay it forward“. We must sow in order to reap. We must not be reactive, we must be proactive. We must show good when we see only evil.

How can we do this? How can we shine a positive light into this dark world? Give when no one is giving. Smile when no one is smiling. Help when no one is helping. We can make a difference, one person at a time. Don’t believe me? Next time you are walking down the street, or are in a crowd, smile. Say “Hi!” to passers-by. Watch their reaction. Their surprised response is worth it!

Tell your family, friends, and coworkers they are appreciated; in no time, you will see they will be seeking you out. Do you know why? Because you are a bright spot in their world. You are proactive, not reacting to negativity. You are sowing seeds of goodness and comfort that will keep people seeking you out. We must “pay forward” God.
