Get back what you put in

Ever heard the phrase. " you get out of life what you put in"
Well I think this is a great phrase to use through out all parts of life.

As a dad I get so much more out of the boys when I spend time to play with them and speak to them on they're level. It's amazing sometimes what they come out with if you take time to listen.

In the same way, as a member of a club you often find the same people doing most of the organising and find that although it can sometimes get them down they get so much more out of being part of that club than another does by just being there.

When I started my own business 12 years ago I wanted to move on in my career and the only way at the time to do this was leave my job and start a business of my own.

OK it's a hard way forward, and sometimes feel I'm not getting anywhere, but I guess I feel proud of building it from scratch and what I do is for me and not someone else.

I can run my business in a way I feel is right and not worry about compromising my morals as I work hard to run a honest and reliable company. I get so much more satisfaction building a business of my own rather than building it for someone else.

In the same way God rewards those who give more to him. And when you trust in him you actually see his hand in your life.

By opening up to God and working with him you will always find that God works for the good and not for bad. He wants the best for everyone and those that seek God will find him.

It's easy to maybe sit back and watch others do the leg work. It is also a more comfortable option to stay in the back ground.

But God wants you on the front line, working for him and helping others to do his work. And by this and trusting in god you will find God will see you a rewarded.
