If you are in a position where you are able to help another, you should. The Lord blesses us so we in turn can bless another. So often people will justify why they don't help others..."oh they are lazy","get a better job", "not my problem", "I have myself to take care of", "they did it to themselves".... etc ... have you ever felt that way in your heart towards another? I must admit I have and I am very ashamed. I now try to have compassion in all circumstances and my husband and I will lend our hand anyway we can. Whether it be money, service or our time. It is important for all of us to do so. It is easy to give out of our excess but to give out of our poverty, says so much more. The Lord wants us to also be silent givers and not brag from here to eternity on all we do. I like Face book and have seen the advantages to the networking side of it, etc ... but so many people use it as their own bragging rights page. I did this, I gave that, I volunteered here, I am attending this function there....JUST DO IT and keep it to yourself. Humility attracts while pretentiousness repels. Remember that. And for those that are fortunate to be blessed by others, never use the excuse that you can't afford to because you must to. You can lend a ride, an ear, a meal, your time...we all have something. And if you earn a dollar, tithe a dime and so on. The Lord does not want your money, He wants your trust. Tithing and giving of ourselves is a way of pleasing Him for the Lord loves others and wants us to have a heart like Him. So today, stop focusing on what you do not have and bless another with what you do. It will do your heart good and the Lord will be so pleased. Have a blessed and prosperous day!
