Two problems people struggle with on opposite ends of a spectrum are feeling like many things really aren't worth the effort when they really are and conversely seeing value in what is superficial.
If you learn to genuinely value the hearts of other people, you’ll come to see the meaning and value in even the smallest gestures of kindness that bring happiness to their hearts.
Christians,
Consider two common problems in life that are on the opposite sides of a spectrum from each other. One is seeing things as being important when they really don’t have value from the Christian perspective. The other is feeling that some things are ultimately not that important and worth the effort of doing when they really are.
An example of the first is seeing importance in fitting in with popular people at school who often don’t treat people outside their circle very well. An example of the second is a feeling that many kind gestures are transient, easily forgotten, and not really worth the effort. Many people struggle with both of these problems to some degree.
Concerning both of these problems though, there is the same answer. It is found in coming to genuinely see the value of other human beings and one’s relationship with God. If you learn to genuinely value the hearts of other people, you’ll come to see the meaning and value in even the smallest gestures of kindness that bring happiness to their hearts. The same is found in valuing what God wants as you would value what a loving human father or good role model would want from you. Then, failing to find meaning in many of the things you do in life becomes much less of a problem. Likewise, when you see a situation or choice in life that is said to be important, but you know it is hurting people and shows a lack of respect for God, then you know it isn’t what it was made out to be.
