Helping others comes from a place of goodwill and compassion, but it's crucial to be discerning about who you choose to help. While many people seek help for genuine reasons, some will exploit your kindness for their own gain. These individuals may twist the truth, misrepresent the facts, and attempt to steal credit for things they didn’t do all to aggrandize themselves. Sometimes trying to help others comes with a high price tag. What makes this betrayal so damaging isn’t just the immediate harm caused by their actions, but the ripple effect they create. When some cook up lies, taking credit for your endeavors and distorting the truth, they pull others into their web of lies.

The truth is some people never intend to let you down. Their best is just less than you expected. Yes, it's a fact, that some people we expect to be there for us are always the ones who let us down.

Amen and beautiful prayer
