Help Others in 5 Ways

Helping others is one way of gaining confidence in yourself, because I know that every person is created from good, therefore he is good. Seeing other people's misfortune hurts us also and we always wish we could do something to help. There are people who truly needs our help, they just want to look strong because they know that the right help will come. Sometimes, we give alms to people if we have some extra to give, and believe that it is better to give than to be the one who is asking for some help.

Helping is one way of making the world a better place to do living, because if you help others in any way you can, it can also lighten up your heart and inspire you that, you as a person also needs help in other things, have helped others. If you lend a hand to other people, you are helping yourself also.

Simple ways to help others

1. Share some encouragement

Patting someone's back and tell him "you can do it," is a simple way to share and lift their baggage in life. To feel that there is someone who is cheering you up and knows what you are going through gives us inspiration and strength to continue. This little effort can change the life of other people. You can either tell him some advice if you know something or share some Bible texts to him.


2. Smile

To walk down the streets with a frowning face makes the day darker. Smile, and make your day better, who knows you, will make other's lives brighter, too. Seeing someone smile gives you encouragement or hope that everything is going to be fine. Smile is a sign of hope, that the world is going to be better soon enough.




3. Teach

There are many ways to teach other people. Doing little things and to show the world that you care is also a way of teaching. Just be an example and show them how to be a good person, they will mimic you soon enough. Be natural and be an example of a good person.





4. Show some patience

The world we live in today forgets how to be patient these days. We can see in the news that two people argue with each other just because of the traffic. Be patient and learn to control what is inside you, you may not be able to control what is going on outside but you can certainly control what is going on inside you. It takes two to tango.



5. Send them a free book

Sending them free books about God or anything that is evangelistic or appropriate is another way to help others. There are people out there who seems hopeless, spark some inspiration and give them hope by giving them free books to read. It is not always necessary that you will be the one to tell them stories and stuff, but simple effort just to show that they are not alone can change everything.

If you want to share some encouragement to others by giving them the right book to read, or you can ask someone if they know a book that can help in certain kind of situation, then you can freely visit http://booksforevangelism.org/ and get them to recommend a book to someone who needs inspiration.
