Together Everyone Achieves More

Acts 3. 12 When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

We are living in times of individual heroics and becoming a star overnight. We want to be famous and we want to be in demand. People go to any extent to grab attention and be the centre of attraction. Be it by hook or crook, some just want to be the hip hot and happening. There is only me, myself and mine in their world.

When God used Peter to heal the lame beggar. The people in the temple were all surprised and were looking with amazement. Of course Peter was careful enough to credit the healing to God, he also made sure that people know the fact that, God used both John and him for the healing. He could have simply brushed John aside and become the new hero in town to enjoy all the stardom. Peter and John were good friends from the very beginning and they only grew more with each other. So they knew how to behave.  

When we get to move ahead in life and are recognized for our achievements, we often fail to recognize those who have been with us in the thick of the times. Let’s not be carried away by the thing of the world and be self centred. Let’s remember Together Everyone Achieves More.
