In life for most people it is an amazing feeling when you are able to give help to someone that really needs it. Knowing you have the means no matter how little or much you can give, it is a great sense of good one feels when they've done good for someone.
Now on the other spectrum it is a great feeling to be given help too. We all need help from time to time & often the act of asking for help is such a humbling experience. But for me when it comes time to get the help I have a really hard time with receiving. I have learned that the reason is because I feel so overwhelmed with gratitude and love when someone does even the smallest thing for me or my family that I know I could NEVER NEVER show them or tell them how trully thankful I am. It's important to be open to recieve as well as open to give. It's something I do need to work on in life and get better at as the years go on.

I Think we are same in some kind, if some body ask me for help and if its in my power to help that one I don't think for a sec to do that thing for that one, But When It comes to taking help from others , I think so many times before asking them for help.
have a Nice day

It is much harder to receive and to have to ask for help def. is not fun
I notice that I too have a hard time being asked for help. I tend to usually offer my services or help with whatever before someone has to ask in order to feel like they did not have to feel that humility or whatever in order to ask me. I tend to just know what people need & want in certain situations and know how to help them w/out them ever having to ask.

I personally feel that in life when you give unto others, as in a kind guesture, or a gift it showing appreciation for them, and being able to help them is quite rewarding as well. In time this all comes back to you. People will see your kind guestures and find ways to want to reward you and help you as well. I know for myself sometimes it takes time and does not feel worth it always, but the rewards are sure worth it in the end.

Yes definetly KarausHome.
I agree that it does not always feel worth it BUT in the end it is. Not everyone know's how to handle help or generosity but maybe that lil bit of help we provided them whatever it might be could very well change that person's day, or attitude or even thier entire life.

Life is always giving and recieving. We recieve blessing and challenges and we give out best to overcome them. We grow as a person based on our experience and we succedd because we give our best in everything that we recieve.

I have not quite ever heard it that way before.
We are who we are by the experiences we have in life. I think I like it better to say we give our best in everything we give. I believe that we get what we give ten fold back. We just don't get it back the same way as we gave it always. God has plans we cannot be sure why of but he will provide to us all that we need.
