Staying with good always pays....all the very best for future!! :)

thanks! God bless

Doing good never brought me good. It was just one disappointment after another. Do people care for what I did? No. Do they appreciate what I did? No. After fighting for those who would not fend for themselves, I end up being criticized for they say I have no right to do these things. To make things worse, they even have more respect to the very person who did them wrong because he was influential. I was ostracized. I did a good thing but I was still the bad guy. I gave a project to a lay minister that earned him P80,000. I asked for a small favor which will benefit our church. I reminded him 5 times. He did not grant it. Like you I defended my persecuted co-employees. I offered to resign just for the company to retain my staff. After I left they don't remember me anymore because they had a good time being together cuz they still got work. I have tons of these disappointments which made me think that doing good sucks. I did the good things ever since I was a teenager, active participation in church activities, sharing the Gospel, evangelizing, offering help left and right, helping deliver relief to flood victims, even fighting for people whom I don't know. I do not see any good thing that would be a result of being good. Despite my loyalty (which is also good)my wife got married to another guy, lives abroad and my kids are there with them. I'm tired of doing good. I had another chapter added to my list just recently. Shit is all I get for doing good. Shit is all around. Now that I am in need do I get any good deed from other people? No. I'm even a victim of born again Christians would you believe that?

i understand where you are coming from believe me. read my other blogs, my husband left me without any reason at all... a lot of other not so good things happen too. but you know what? i realized we have to look beyond the bad stuff to see things more clearly... when i did, i have more respect for myself. i never knew how strong i was until those things happened to me and at the end of the day i am proud that i have done the right things inspite of everything, cause what is there to be proud of if the choice was easy? it was a test of character and i would have done the same things over and over again, cause that is who i am. nobody can take that away from you. and i refuse to believe that nobody remembers your good deed, i am pretty sure that you have touched at least one life by doing good. and even if others don't care you know deep in your heart that God knows... we just have to persist and wait for HIS time. yes... sometimes it is easier to give up and adopt the "if you can't beat them, join them" attitude but isn't beneath us? we are better them... i have a lot of regrets in my life... but i don't regret doing good... no matter how much it hurts after... i want to remain faithful to HIM. HIS life wasn't easy, so as a follower why would i expect my life to be better? Yes there are a lot of bad things in my life, but when i count the good things there are far more... we just have to take in the bad things together with the good. you are a good person and i pray that you will find that that is enough. whatever they say, however others will react, let us be content that we have done the right thing... For whatever it's worth, i will count your story in my blessings list today... hold on, it will happen for you
