Does it bother you when people come to you as a last resort? Say, a person is looking for something and only comes to you when they cannot get it from elsewhere?

A friend once told me:

When someone comes to you as a last resort, always take it as a compliment. Whenever human beings are confronted with a problem, they always try various ways to solve it by themselves before asking for help. When they cannot solve the problem themselves, they usually go to the people who might help, but in the order of importance – with the person who gives the least help first. The person that they go to last is the person who they believe cannot fail them. Take the example of when a person is sick in Nairobi; usually they start with self medication, then the local clinic, before trying a real Hospital as the last resort. Consider even the money in your pocket. When making payments, do you start getting rid of the big notes or the small notes? What about at work? Don’t you start trying to borrow from colleagues before presenting your financial problem to the boss? She continued to give me the example of God. She said that people usually go to God as the last resort after trying everything else, right? And so she concluded that when you are the last person that someone comes to, realize that to them, you are very close to God.

My friend’s is definitely one way of looking at it.
