God Helps Those Who Help Themselves
It is world famous maxim replete with practical truth and wisdom. God indeed helps those who help themselves. God has his own inexplicable ways to help the genuine people in need.
Deserving people whom God intends to help, He fills them with optimism. Optimism is God's surety provided to the righteous when they fight their uphill task of surmounting the mountains of difficulties. Optimism is seeing the silver lining behind every dark cloud. Optimism is the happy patience in the midst of an endless toil. Optimism gives you the courage to keep on carrying on. No despair can ever vanquish optimism. In the chapter ‘We are not afraid to die…’ God gave everyone optimism during the challenging time.
