We have this God-given capacity to be charitable and to do good deeds for others.
Undoubtedly, we want to exercise this ability so that life will be meaningful for us as well as for others.
But quite often, when in doing works of charity and good works, we may be accused for ulterior motives and vested interests.
When faced with such criticisms, we will naturally recoil into ourselves and just want to mind our own business instead.
When Jesus cast out the devil from a dumb demoniac, people were amazed.
But the Pharisees, who were respected religious people, criticised Him for being in collaboration with the devils.
But Jesus knew what He doing and He continued with what He was called to do.
The labourers in the harvest of the Lord are few, because many have given up because of the criticisms of others.
Let us ask the Lord of the harvest to sow His love in our hearts so that we will continue to do the good that He has called us to.
