A teacher once shared a parable:
There was one who received help and thought it was small, not knowing the one giving was carrying a heavier burden within. For sometimes, the hand that gives is more wounded than the one receiving.
And the teacher said: never measure help by its size, but by the heart behind it. For even a little given in pain is great before God.
There were also those who began to feel entitled, forgetting that every act of kindness is grace, not obligation. Yet they did not see that all are fighting silent battles, and no one gives without a cost.
So the teacher taught: be grateful, not demanding. Be humble, not assuming. For the one who gives today may be sustained only by grace.
It is written: “Give thanks in all circumstances…” (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
May we never take for granted the hands that help us, and may gratitude guard our hearts—for truly, it is grace that carries us all. 🙏
