Often times when I'm dealing with certain things or going through certain situations I try to figure out why people don't treat you how you treat them, the saying is "Treat others how you would want them to treat you." Well I'm kind of lost on that one because I know I treat people good, even those who have not did right by me.
I have went out of my way to try and help someone that needed help even putting off paying a bill or something just so I could make sure I could help them. Even if that meant driving for hours to helps someone get back and forth to work or even to church. Now I won't say in some shape form or fashion people have not been there for me because they have but as I look back on it them being there for me really was for their benefit and not for the benefit of helping me because I needed help.
I look at my situation sometimes and I can't help but to think and or know that I'm in the predicament I'm in because I helped people that needed help.
I often hear, "You stay too far", well if I'm not mistaken I was staying in the same place when I went out my way to help you, it wasn't too far then now was it.
Don't get me wrong I know what the word of God says and that is the only reason that I haven't exploded on people or had a complete meltdown. I thank God that He equipped me at the time to help those people but it still doesn't stop me from wishing that they would return the favor.
I know that I am not the only one who has ever felt this way and I know that there will be other people to feel this way and that I will feel this way again if I continue to help people who don't appreciate it or who refuse to acknowledge me when I need help or even a listening ear. You see there just comes a time when you have had all you can take. There comes a time when you have to just say enough if enough and I'm going to take it any more, but let me warn you that when you do that they are going to feel you're doing them wrong also let me tell you don't worry about what they say or think and just remind them you are doing exactly what they did too you. When you do this don't feel bad about it either just pick up the pieces and move on with you life and know that troubles don't last always, even though it may see like it, they don't.
Praise God for the many blessings He's bestowed upon you and ask Him to remove all leaches from your life, no matter who they may be. You may not see it in the beginning but in the end you will see it and you will know it was all worth it.
Bottom Line is this: If someone has helped you before and you may need their help again you may just want too follow that one Golden Rule:
