Walk 1km more!
Translation done with the help of google translator
At present, our country has been traveling on paths never seen before for any of our ancestors. At least not with the magnitude that has been seen. Venezuelans are generally known for the kindness in their hearts and for the way in which they deal with people they don't even know. However, since the events that we already know of, that generosity has diminished considerably, since, unfortunately, very few have the capacity to provide support or contribution to others.
But I am convinced that goodness is still in the heart of every Venezuelan, only that the motivation and intentionality necessary to rekindle generosity between brothers is lacking. This writing has been made to remind a little of what Venezuelans really are, starting, of course; from the goodness that God has placed in us, the inhabitants of Venezuela. I understand that many may point to certain characters in our country, with the fame they have of being full of wealth due to the mismanagement of economic resources.
I am not used to making statements of this type, because I am not looking for the approval or disapproval of people, but rather to walk according to what God allows me to know. So, according to my principles, I wanted to write about that quality that the Venezuelan possesses and stands out like very few in the world. It is a characteristic with which we have been gifted and it is what I want to highlight in this post.
In that sense, I would like to remember those times when you were doing any activity and suddenly someone approaches you to request some kind of help and you did it as if nothing had happened. In other words, the goodness that God has deposited in you was what prompted you to help or collaborate with those who needed you at that time. It is similar when you call the neighbors or they call you, to share a coffee, a breakfast or something else. The feeling for the attitude you show in these situations is what remains impregnated in you and expresses how well you have done.
What's more, I would dare to say that actions like these are the ones that are truly worthwhile in life. I mean this, because it is a feeling in which you experience inexplicable joy and it is as if you reach a point where everything that revolves around you goes well. That is the reason why I invite you to walk one more kilometer with those who ask you to walk with them.
There are people who need to go through various situations; in which they need our support because they come carrying heavy loads for themselves. Perhaps, you are the one who has traveled the hard road and you need someone to walk a little more with you. Well, look for someone who has the ability to walk one more kilometer with you and you will see that your path will become much lighter and also, you will feel how the joy of the other permeates you and transforms what you see as hard or difficult into something simple. We must not forget that those individuals with goodness in their hearts are those who possess an extraordinary capacity for actions that are for the benefit of others.
However, sometimes recognizing people with goodness in their hearts can become complex, since the case may arise in which people use this quality to deceive others and do harm and not good. To identify if there is good in someone, we just have to be a little silent and listen carefully to the words that people speak. I suggest this, since the Word of God indicates (paraphrasing): it is not what enters our body that damages, but what comes out of the mouth. Thus that if we pay attention to the words of a person, we could identify if the intentions are good or bad.
In addition to the above, we can also recognize what is in people's hearts when we apply what we achieve as a teaching of Jesus Christ (paraphrasing): of what is in our heart, that is what the mouth speaks . That is why just by paying attention to what people are talking about, you can tell us how much good there is in that person and with that, you could make decisions about it when it comes to us with intentions contrary to generosity.

What has been said leads us to think about ourselves too, we can review ourselves and pay attention to our words to identify or recognize how I am acting in front of others. In this way we can determine whether or not there really is goodness in our hearts. I am convinced that we all have goodness, but not all exercise it correctly or as a manifestation that contributes to society. I invite you to meditate on your words and if you have trouble being kind, work or strive to receive the joy felt by those who are.
Of course, if you have been able to recognize yourself with the gift of helping others, keep going without stopping. Do not stop to think what perhaps others tell you to see how you stop your progress. You cannot consider those ideas in which they only seek to paralyze the tasks that you can do for the good for other people. For many, who is dedicated to the benefit of others; is a person with mental problems or is even labeled as rude, but those same people recognize that what those who give themselves for others feel have some benefits that are not explained as they obtain them.
To conclude, I must point out that there is a friend who walks not only 1 kilometer more, but many more. That friend can fill you with that peace and joy that surpasses any understanding and that, incidentally, was the living sample of an absolute sacrifice for the lives of others. I'm sure you already know the name of this friend, so I invite you to meet Jesus Christ. The decision to know him, you can take it just as you do to a person. Start by reading about his life, then send him a message to meet him and after the message, go out and practice what you have learned by reading his life.
