How selfless can a man be??
First of all what is selflessness??
Selflessness is when you put others interested before yours.
Jesus actually demonstrated a selfless act by dying on the cross for our sins.
We should sometimes Learn to put others interest before ours because it can make allot of difference,help others and save others.
I will like to share a story on selflessness:
A man was married to a woman for long without any issue, they went to different hospital and was confirmed medically ok and fit to have kids of their own. So after 10yrs of marriage they finally got a child and after the delivery the doctor told her that she wouldn't be able to give birth to a child again. So she decided to treasure the one and only God has given to her.
They were Happy and the child grew Very fast and became a grown beautiful girl, she made her parents proud both in her academics and character as a responsible child.
She came first overall in her class and got all A's in her grade and this made her parents shower her with much love, gifts and attention.which made her so happy and feel loved.
They continued as one big family, for months,weeks and days and they decided to go on a family outing on a Saturday.
So on that faithful day they went out for the family outing as they have planned, everything went well and smoothly unknowingly to them that that was this would lead to sorrow and Sadness.
On their way back, they were stopped by a young boy who just finished his service and was robbed on his way back from service,so they stopped to see what his reason for stopping them was, so after he narrated his ordeal to them, they requested that he showed them his ID card which he did and they agreed to help him.
They conversated well and the man decided to take a short path because there was traffic jam on the usually path, so when they got to a lonely path, immediately a vehicle pulled up in front of them and pointed a gun at them asking them to come down, which they did and the kidnappers requested for a person, the man offered himself of which they rejected saying they needed a young one, the man was faced with the challenge of either giving them his child or the boy he helped on their way back, shockingly the man offered his daughter and spared the life of the stranger which was a very difficult decision for him.
So on getting home, his wife hated him, despised him, and refused to have anything to do with him, she cried and cried wishing this day had never come,she started insulting and disrespecting her husband, stopped performing her duties as a wife and said her husband was a ritualist that he had used his daughter for rituals.confirming her suspicions the man got a contract he has always been waiting for worth over 50 million naira.
As usual this aroused Many suspicions and rumors on his sudden wealth, all the money he gave to assist others were rejected and his wife left his house after an advise from her friend that if she doesn't leave she might be the next sacrificial lamb.
Everything he did was all to no avail and he has made up his mind to end his life, about to take the poison he got early, suddenly he heard a knock on his door and when he opened he was startled at what he saw, behold it was his daughter who got kidnapped, the youth corper he gave a ride that Same day and his uncle.
So he confirmed that his daughter was really alive and he was so excited and asked how it happened so the youth Corper narrated how he saw her in the hospital when he went to visit his close friend and recognize her, so he told his uncle about it and they took care of her, paid her hospital Bills and she got discharged then they decided to bring her home,it happened that on that day when they kidnapped the little girl, they got into an accident and every one died except for the the little girl who was unconscious and was rushed to a nearby hospital and with timely intervention survived.
On hearing the whole story he was so amazed and thank God who has finally vindicated him and saved him the shame,then immediately his wife who had come to inform him that she wants a divorce entered and she saw her daughter and was so happy and hugged her, she then begged for forgiveness on her distrust for her husband, he forgave her and their peace we're restored and they lived happily.
Please I need your comments, if you were the man, what would you have done,?? Would you have given your child like he did or the you would have given them the stranger.???pls Share your thoughts.thanks.
