This pandemic has burst many a bubble. Our society was under the illusion that people really care. However, they have found out the painful truth that they are all alone in this world. And it hurts!

Now, of course, I am not referring to the faithful few who have continued to be blessing by actively serving their fellowman. Christians have been taught not to be a burden but rather to be a blessing. As Paul the Apostles says in Acts 20:34–35 (ESV) “You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities and to those who were with me. In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE.’”

Most self-indulgent individuals seek not to serve our Lord Christ, but rather their own appetites (Romans 16:18). Unfortunately, “their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things, (Phil.3:19).

Friend, I know this counsel is counterintuitive. But why not give it a try. If you cannot find happiness, try being the blessing.
