When it's all been said and done

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)


"When it's all been  said and done, there is just one thing that matters; only what I've  done for loves reward, will stand the test of time." excerpts from a song by Don Moen. 

Earlier today, I ran to him anguish. I told him about my sharp argument with some people. I lamented how I feel people are ungrateful and don't really deserve you  making any sacrifice for them. They will enjoy hundreds of benefits from  you without showing gratitude, but the minute you make a single mistake, they will capitalize on it to criticize you and never remember when they benefited from you. 

He carefully listened as I lamented. Then he said,

"When you do good for people, do not ever expect them to appreciate or pay  you back for your kind acts. If you do so, you will become frustrated  with life. A lot of people are not loyal. Do not expect anything from  anybody. However, a time will come when we would leave this world, long after we have departed, our riches will mean nothing, only what we deed for loves reward will truly matter."

Again, for the second time, his words soothe my troubled heart. 

When it is all been said and done, all our treasures and wealth will mean nothing. Our beautiful skin and faces will decay. Our cherished shoes, cloth and cars will wear out. Only what we did for love's reward will stand the test of time. Only how we imparted on other lives will matter. 

If they don't appreciate you, never mind. Do not be discouraged. The right people will one day immortalize you for your works.

Be careful about sharing your links on another person's post. I think @papa-pepper wrote on that sometime ago. It's usually offensive.

Ok. Noted
Thanks

Yesoo. Our good deed is the legacy we leave behind after we are gone.
Have a blessed week Sis, @ogoowinner

@ugoowinner, It's obvious that friends we spend our bone, teeth and sweat being loyal to tend to betray us at the slightest mistake.
Like they were waiting for a perfect excuse to cut us lose but never mind.
Look on the bright side. There always is.

This is really a strong one this morning. Sadly very true, people don't remember you for the clothes you wear or parties one attended but for the good deeds. Human are naturally ungrateful, always wanting more. Give a man a billion dollar, he will want 2 billion. Give him 10 billion, his wish will keep increasing.

To be at peace, give willingly and freely with no expectation. Your kindness will be appreciated by others, if not that person

A good reply from him, that is just the truth , expect less from people so that you won't get dissapointed when you are not given gratitute for your kindness in return.

Hello @ogoowinner yah i agree with you 100% you know even when we give a helping hand people interprete the helping hand in another way and remember you cannot please everyone however good you are but the only option you are left with is to treat bad with good and good with good

Thanks for sharing a good post bro.

He's right , when u do good don't expect anything in return

Alot of people have being victims of this...but its left for you to understand this great secret. Always do good and consider nothing in return.. Your words are great @ogoowinner

Smiles
You know, this post had a soothing effect on my soul...
I feel filled, like just what i needed for the morning.
Thanks sis.
Always expect the least from all...
I think it better that way.

@ogoowinner what a way to start the morning of new week, its inspiring. However its human nature never to be loyal to the end, even those who are loyal now, is because they have not gotten what they are looking for, from you, the moment they do that's all.

But that should change you from doing good, i only know you here, and i know what good you have done and will still do, like i said in one of my #SuperSundayShoutOut to you, you have always been at the fore-front of helping people. Your reward is coming. Keep it up, keep being good, only God rewards for being good, human may not, even if they it wont last like that of God's own.

Nwanyi oma, ji si ike!

This is very apt. The most important thing is to understand why we are here. Even though we're relational in nature not everyone will applaud us for whatever we do but we must never lose ourselves while seeking accolades from men.
Thank you @ogoowinner

Inspiring words for the start of the week. Although it is sad when this happens but One must not be shaken. The right ones will srely come around.

True story.
Hence if they dont appreciate what you bring to the table, let them eat alone. Well said my dear

Mamiiii...
Here's what I've learned overtime

When it comes to doing good, do it because you really want to and when you are done, forget you did it because the recipients might forget. There's no point remembering what has been forgotten.

I really hope you are better now...
Have a great week ahead

@ogoowinner, you never cease amazing me with thought provoking words.

only what we deed for loves reward will truly matter."

love is the answer
love is the key
love is the way out.

it's only when you don't do anything in love that you will seek and expect rewards, even at that, it will not come because it's doesn't emanates from the love centre, only true and sincere dids which emanates from love will stand the test of time and only that will you gain the rewards here and thereafter.

SEEK TO DO GOOD AND YOU WILL SEE GOOD

@ogoowinner, thanks for sharing

I feel deeply connected to each line here. I've learned the lesson not to expect thank you for the good I do. I know it's sad. I feel depressed sometimes but now I've gotten over it. I know one day people will give account about you and you will be surprised how much they remembered one good you've done for them.

Stay blessed

I love the message there, to not expect back when we do good deeds to others. It is the same for people who borrow especially the poor, we must not expect repayment but if they would pay it would be wonderful for us. But we must just make good deeds to one another and make each other's lives better, for that we will be remembered. @ogoowinner

only few or way less than will appreciate the life is just like that its just a matter of time that we will be remembered for our karma

Thanks @ogoowinner Though my 100% upvote what nothing but I will drop it to show how I appreciate your write-up, but the area I pick interest most on what you said is where you said and I quote

When you do good for people, do not ever expect them to appreciate or pay you back for your kind acts. If you do so, you will become frustrated with life

Yes I'm a leaving witness that really help me to understand that if you really want to go far in life don't Expect a reciprocation From whom you kind to. A lot of people are not loyal
Thanks for sharing once more I'm your reader @luckyspark [relationship expert]

Thank you for this super wisdom, my lady

I don't know who is he, but I guess He's God, the counsel he gave is the best one can have to be happy with self and others.
You can't be hurt by them if you are not expecting from them
