I should have bought him 12 loaves of bread

There was this friend I had in those days when things were a bit ‘rough’ for both of us. He wanted me to buy him a big loaf of bread. As I was going to pay for one, he requested for another. I declined his request and only paid for one. Honestly, I could afford to pay for another loaf but I refused because I felt he was asking for too much.
Few years after, as I was going to have my lunch at an eatery, someone shouted out my name from inside a brand new jeep car. When I looked closely, it was him, the guy that requested for another loaf of bread. I said in my mind, I should have bought him 12 loaves of bread!
You are created for your neighbor’s safety. Maybe, if you know how my tomorrow will be like, you would change your attitude towards me. Life is supposed to be the other way round. Make an IMPACT in someone’s life today.
