YOU MAY NEED THAT PERSON SOMEDAY
One thing many people don't understand is this:
That person you are ignoring today, pretending not to see, refusing to support or encourage, may be the very person you will need tomorrow. And sometimes, tomorrow comes sooner than you expect.
Life has a funny way of humbling us.
Those you think you don't need today may become the very people you will be pursuing tomorrow. The person whose messages you deliberately ignore today may be the person whose help you desperately seek when life turns the tables.
You call someone your friend, yet you never celebrate them, encourage them, support their dreams, check on them, share their work, or show up when they need you.
But the moment you need something, you suddenly remember their name and begin to bombard their DM:
"My friend, please..."
"I need your help..."
"Can you assist me?"
My friend, dey play ooo! ๐
Don't get me wrongโtrue friendship is not a business transaction, and we shouldn't help people only because we expect something in return.
But let's be honest: you cannot continually pour nothing into a relationship and expect it to produce everything for you when you need it.
What are you sowing into the lives of the people around you?
Are you encouraging them?
Are you supporting them?
Are you celebrating their victories?
Do you check on them when they are going through difficult seasons?
Do you show up for them even when you don't need anything?
Because life is a seed-sowing field.
If all you do is take, take, take, don't be surprised when people eventually stop giving.
And please, don't only remember people when you need something from them.
Celebrate people while they are still here. Support them while they are building. Encourage them while they are struggling. Stand with them before you need them to stand with you.
You don't have to be rich to support someone.
A kind word is support.
A sincere prayer is support.
A recommendation is support.
Sharing someone's work is support.
Checking up on them is support.
Showing up is support.
Sometimes, the little encouragement you give someone today becomes the reason they remember you tomorrow.
๐ SCRIPTURE SPOTLIGHT
Galatians 6:7 (KJV)
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
Also remember:
Proverbs 11:25 โ "The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself."
So, my dear friend, water people. Encourage people. Support people. Celebrate people.
Don't wait until you need them before you suddenly become their biggest fan.
What you sow today may determine what you reap tomorrow.
My friend, dey play! ๐๐
