What is that truth? It is simple, but the only way you can understand this truth is to do it yourself, you have to live it. Here it is: when you bless others, the person who receives the greatest blessing is you. Whenever you serve someone, whenever you go and do an act of service, whenever you give of yourself to help others you will be incredibly blessed yourself. You will never out bless yourself.
Today I had a wonderful conversation with a lady in need. She found it very difficult to ask for help, and admitted that she was trying to do things by herself and on her own. I decided to try and talk with her from a different angle. I said, "if you saw a neighbour in need, and you could do something to help, would you do it?" She answered "yes!". I asked her, "how would it make you feel to be able to help someone?" She answered, "it would feel great." I reminded her that one of the greatest joys in life we can have is to help others, and that she should allow others to bless her.
If you want to feel good, if you want to lay your head down at night and know that you are fulfilled, do an act of kindness for someone today. Not only will you feel good, but you will be a blessing and you will be truly blessed. On top of that you will be obeying God's command to love your neighbour as yourself.
I hope you can sense this in Bo's comments in this video.
