Asking For Help

Asking For Help:
One of the greatest
gifts that we can give to another, is the opportunity to help.
Helping another, frees the soul, it fills the heart with love and
allows the helper to experience themselves as the one who brings
love. That was the first expression of love from our creator. He set
himself free from the bonds of oneness, giving freedom and love to
the individualized pieces of himself, that he scattered over the
universe. That feeling of joy is experienced every time we give, or
help from choice.
Do not look upon
asking for help as an imposition of the other, but one of an
opportunity for him/her. Do not begrudgingly help another from a
sense of duty, fear or guilt, but from the stand point of an
opportunity to experience what your creator felt when he set you
free and gave you life. Help often, make it a habit. There are those
out there that are waiting to help. Many of those people would never
volunteer, but are eager to be asked. Being in the position to help,
acknowledges the abundance you already have in your life, in service
and material. The deeper issue is, that when you help another, you
are really helping yourself, this brings the power back to yourself.
From the point of feeling powerless, you now have the power to help
yourself through another. All strangers come bearing gifts, many
times it is the opportunity to help. A highly evolved person,
recognizes that, and would never refuse the gift. It may be the
simple act of opening a door for someone, or giving a dime to a
stranger at a checkout who is a little short. It is a very small
effort for the grand feeling you receive from the act. Give life and
power back to them, by asking for their help, you to, will be
overwhelmed with the same sense of helping by asking for help.
The hardest thing
about giving, is to be able to do it without expecting recognition.
When the expectation of recognition is not met, the feeling is lost,
and is replaced by feelings of hurt and disappointment. Humbleness
is another beneficial feeling of giving and asking for help. It
recognizes the connection between the asker and the giver. From the
point of humbleness we can feel the bond, and the transfer of power
through sharing.
In love, when you
recognize an opportunity for someone to help, give them back to
themselves by asking for their help. Recognize the opportunities for
asking help of another. Think of asking, as giving, and humbly
accept the good feelings that go along with the request. You always
get back more than you give, when you help. The feeling can never be
bought. In the truest sense, when the giver is being asked for help,
he really is asking for help for himself, through the asker. He is
asking once again to be empowered with abundance and love. One does
never give away love, but only receives it.
Try this. Next time
you see the squeegee person at the red light, think of it as an
opportunity only. Don't think about what he is going to do with the
money. Next time you see the person on the street corner, with the
sign, "Traveling, hunger, need food," that's been there
for 3 years, stop yourself from thinking. Just give, for the
opportunity that has presented itself to you. Then notice the
difference, when you don't allow your mind to interfere.
