Our purpose in life with
the gifts given to us is to make people feel good about themselves.
I am sure those who isolate
themselves haven’t had a lot of friends or anyone that will care for them. It
is a sad place for those who feel that way on a regular basis. With my past
history I have felt that way when I am in depression however when I snap out of
it I know to that is not true.
Those who have a gift of
compassion or encouragement can help those in isolation however everyone has a
gift that can be used even if those two are not your strong suit. Actually any
gift you share with others at some degree or another shows compassion or at
least encouragement.
A very good gift to have
that others can benefit from is hospitality. Those who have this gift have
friends over at their place on a regular basis and make them feel at home. Next
time you have a party invite someone who doesn’t look like they get invited out
very often. Also have your friends bring along someone like that to. I know
that you will make a big difference in their lives. This way they can get out
of their life of isolation and be free.
I know that there are other
ways that we can make people feel good about themselves as well. A good smile,
a laugh or asking them about themselves is a few ways to get going. So much we
can do even in small ways. All we have to do is be creative in what we do.
