I tell you the
truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine,
you did for me.
Matthew 25:18
We are representatives of Jesus Christ; we are His hands and His heart
to our families, communities, neighbors, and the world. Our lives should
reflect the mercy and love of Jesus to everyone we come in contact with.
Sometimes it may require hands on participation, a little sweat, some
tears, or maybe even getting our hands dirty. Volunteering to help,
wherever and to whomever there is a need, willing to go the extra mile,
giving and serving. Can you even imagine Jesus in need of food and us
not inviting him to dinner? If He were hurt and we would not tend to His
wounds? If He needed a friend to talk to and we did not have the a few
minutes to spare, If He was sick and ignored His plea for help? Of
course we would do all those things for Jesus and more. Then we have to
ask ourselves why we don't do these things for those we see and come in
contact with every day. Our faith in action; it certainly speaks volumes
over our words. There is something we can do today for someone that
would make a difference in his or her day. Whatever we do whatever needs
done; we should do it as unto Jesus.
Prayer
Help me today Lord to step outside the walls of my own little world, and
touch the life of another with your love and your goodness. I desire to
be a good representative of You and to do as You do. Show me today what
needs to be done. I volunteer. Amen
