LIVE TO BLESS AND BLESS TO LIVE

BY HANS-JOACHIM TRAPP

Living to bless others—could there be a more exalted motive for a fulfilling life? Picture a world filled with people whose deepest desire is to bless others! Wouldn't that be the solution to some of the destructive egocentrism behind much of the serious personal and global problems facing humanity today? Wouldn't it help to remove frustration, quiet fear, establish balanced relationships, and as a result, bring about healing?

The rich in spirit help the poor in one grand brotherhood, all having the same Principle, or Father; and blessed is that man who seeth his brother's need and supplieth it, seeking his own in another's good.
