Do good-and your blessing awaits you

- Bo Sanchez

One day, I heard that a friend was criticizin­g me because I started a business and began to give financial teachings. She was telling others that I've change, that I've lost my spiritual purity. She believed it was impossible to be both a missionary and an entreprene­ur, and that I've become worldly with all my talk on money.

A few moths later , she went through severe financial problems. She couldn't pay her bills. Her debts were mounting. And one day, she came to me asking for financial help.

Let me tell you how human I am. I was tempted to tell her, "I don't get it. You criticize me for being an entreprene­ur. Yet now, you're asking money from me, which I earned as an entreprene­ur."

Thankfully, the better part of me took over. I helped her financiall­y and prayed for her. And I felt so good. I was planting good seeds. I knew I'd harvest good fruits.

The Sixth Commandmen­t says, "Do not kill.: But Jesus explains the spirit of the law saying, "Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. "When you do, your blessing awaits you.
