About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"YOU HAVE DONE IT UNTO ME" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
YOU HAVE DONE IT UNTO ME
HAVE YOU REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT HOW BLESSED YOU ARE? SOME MIGHT SAY "HOW CAN YOU SAY I AM BLESSED WHEN THE PANDEMIC HAS COST ME MY JOB AND I CAR CAN BARELY PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE?" JUST THINK OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOST THEIR HOMES, A CAR OR GOOD HEALTH. DO YOU EVER THANK GOD FOR THE THINGS YOU DO HAVE?
WE NEED TO STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW LITTLE WE HAVE AND START THINKING ABOUT WAYS TO HELP OTHERS. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ABOUT GIVING MONEY, HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH, THAT MIGHT BE WHAT YOU COULD DO. WE ALL HAVE CLOTHES THAT WE DON'T WEAR. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU GONE THROUGH YOUR CLOSET TO GET RID OF A FEW THINGS AND END UP PUTTING THEM BACK SAYING THAT YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT SO YOU CAN WEAR THEM. NOW, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU REALLY LOST THE WEIGHT SO YOU CAN FIT IN THEM? BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE AND GIVE THE CLOTHES TO THEM.
IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE ABOUT MATERIAL THINGS. THERE MIGHT BE A NEIGHBOR THAT NEEDS A RIDE TO THE STORE ONCE A WEEK OR TO THE DOCTORS. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS WOULD BLESS THEM? WHAT ABOUT DOING AN ODD JOB AROUND THEIR HOUSE FOR THEM LIKE CUTTING THEIR GRASS? I WILL TELL YOU THIS, YOU WILL BE BLESSED WHILE YOU ARE BLESSING THEM. AND, IF YOU CAN'T GET OUT AND DO THINGS, YOU CAN PRAY. PRAYER IS PROBABLY WHAT I SHOULD HAVE STARTED OUT WITH. THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEM ALL.
WHEN I THINK ON THESE THINGS, IT BRINGS TO MIND THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS FOUND IN MATTHEW 25:31-40 WHERE IT SAYS "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
FROM THE ABOVE VERSES WE CAN SEE WHAT JESUS THINKS ABOUT US HELPING SOMEONE WHO IS IN NEED. IF YOU ARE BLESSED, BE A BLESSING. JUST REMEMBER 2ND CORINTHIANS 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. ARE YOU A CHEERFUL GIVER?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
