The Extra Mile

1 Reply

Going that extra mile is a cliché that so many use as a term rather than giving the phrase the impact it deserves. It is a simple term, yet is very complex in it’s variety of meanings.

Going the extra mile is going above and beyond, having a desire to give more than is expected; reaching out and helping people, doing things without being asked or expected, caring enough to dig deeper within one’s self to do more, without self-grattitude or motives.
It is the willingness to go the extra mile for another person or people with a caring heart and loving attitude.

Always go that extra mile for yourself and for others, because the blessings and the joy that it brings, is worth every step of the way.

The Extra Mile

Matthew 5:41 NIV
If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.

The Mentor

Being a mentor is a gift for both the mentor and the student. They are a teacher, guidance counselor, coach, motivational person, and a guide. It takes understanding, patience, a caring and loving attitude, and a desire to understand the student’s strengths and weaknesses. 

Learning their abilities or lack thereof, their personalities, capabilities, and the person as a whole, understanding that each person is different from anyone else and may need to learn by various means.

Then working with them, guiding, teaching, offering emotional support, advising, and providing wisdom that will mold and shape them to become the best person they can be on their journey in life.

Being a mentor to someone is an extraordinary blessing that takes desire, a willing attitude, a loving heart, dedication, and commitment.

Bless the mentors that helped change so many lives in the world and in so many ways.

Being my brother’s or sister’s keeper

What does it mean to be your brother’s or sister’s keeper?

It is about having someone’s back, caring for them, supporting them in the struggles, not judging them, but loving them, keeping their secrets safe, and relying on each other to make it through the struggles in the day to day life.

…Taking the time to listen to them and understanding where they come from, walking beside then in the good times and the bad, and holding each other acountable.

…Lifting each other up and praising them in the good, crying with them in the bad, and standing tall beside them through it all.

…Being there for them through thick and thin and never letting them go, no matter what.

Being your brother’s or sisters’s keeper means to give yourself selflessly to them, in order to help lift their lives up without thought, recognition, or ulterior motives, but strictly out of the love and caring for one another.

Proverbs 27:17 NIV
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

Unity is the essence of life. It is the tie that binds all things and people together as one.
Unity breaks all barriers, removes “I” and builds a team of oneness, creating a positive mental and spiritual outlook that is filled with love.

Unity

Psalms 133:1 NIV
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
