When we are blessed with everything that we need, we tend to forget God and the ways that He had led us. Soon we are busy with our own ways and we even start bragging about our hard work and achievements. We take the praises that is due to the Lord to ourselves and boast about the momentary wealth and fame that we had gained. It is true that our Lord wants us to be fruitful. The Bible says that being fruitful in every good work is pleasing in the sight of the Lord (Colossians 1:10). We need to make sure that our deeds are good no matter what it yields us.
Speaking about the good works, the Bible says what our Lord Jesus did when He was in this world. Jesus says, “God sent Me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, to comfort all those who mourn...” (Isaiah 61:1-3). Yes, Jesus was compassionate towards the broken hearted that He not only healed them but also liberated them and comforted them. The Psalmist says "The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18). This also means He hates the pride of man and ungodliness. Therefore remember to do as much good as possible when it is in the power of your hand to do so.
