Obedience to the Known Will of Jesus - 2 years ago
Matthew 25: 31-46
What Jesus taught that we should be doing every day, in one form or another.
To ignore this teaching, is to be unwise. Every person can do something: pray for it, fund it through a ministry that does it; or you do it.
This is what the Lords Sheep do.
only goats will jump up and proclaim, I'm not having anything to do with this !!
Why do we do it? Because Jesus himself demonstrated it, some way, every day of his ministry on earth. Before he left, he taught that we were to be merciful and kind in His Place. He will repay.
Someday, at the Bema Seat Judgement of Christ Jesus; rewards will be handed out; CROWNS.
At the end of the Ceremony we will place our crowns at Jesus's feet.
Let me tell a real story. One night I was in a left turn lane , headed home. It was quite long. I saw a homeless man dressed in rags, hobbling along with sore feet. His shoes were falling apart. His face etched with pain, every step. We turned left, turned around to find the man and buy him new shoes and clothes. We searched but couldn't find him! Anguish filled my heart.
Some months later I was at the doctors office-and for some reason I told him about that man. His expression was incredulous. He had seen the man too! He was in the right turn lane and followed to where he could offer him a ride. HE TOOK THE MAN to a store and bought him clothes, a coat, and good shoes. Got him into a shelter. Shortly after he did free surgery on the man's feet. He had befriended the man afterwards.
What a blessing to hear!!! I cried and praised God all the way home. When God speaks, if we will just listen and respond; we can be part of a blessing. God will repay you. There are feeding and clothing ministries somewhere near you. Help those who need so much and in the spirit of love and mercy_not judgment or loathing. Have you ever put a bag of canned meat and veggies on an elderly persons doorstep? Start a food pantry at your church? shoes+socks?
I have never been endangered by responding to the nudge of the Holy Spirit. I'm just an ordinary believer; not rich or poor. I have enough, and to spare with another.
Ive seen what some children do with a deceased parents belongings. It makes sense to me to give it to someone who would enjoy it.
Giving, always gives me deep joy. I live near a huge orphanage. I take them good reusable items to sell in their onsite store. The proceeds are used for store bought necessities for the orphans (all ages). A lot of people do. I support Salvation Army because they give things to people who are flooded or burned out of their homes. It makes me happy to know "someone" gets new dishes or new sets of pots and pans; sheet sets.
I had a home burn up. For years I'd look for things and realize they got burned up. My sweet neighbors saved my pets (I was at work when it burned)
Fire teaches you what is truly important. :D
Many homeless aren't fakers. It's painful to be hungry and people look away. If I'm going downtown I take 6 Turkey sandwiches and 6 bags of chips and cookies. At least I know they got a good lunch. I can't cure homelessness, but I can fill an empty belly. Look for the ones who are skinny and have pain etched in their faces; or a kid who shouldn't have to be hungry.
Listen to a song Mac Davis recorded: "Whoever Finds
This. I love you." Loneliness kills more people than anything else.
Everybody in heaven is saved. Now__is when we can show heaven to someone lost in darkness and pain.
Gigi, God sees us everywhere. He's lookin for anyone who will go, for Him.

get things done. At times when there is someone in need outside of a restaurant or grocery store, I invite them to come in and I
will buy them lunch or dinner. I try to have water in my car to give out. I need to add some food to my water supply, as you
suggested, to give out. When I am driving by one who is needy and cannot stop, I stretch out my hand and pray for God to
send someone to help them. We may not be called to do great things, but can make the best of occasions to help the "least of
these".
Thank you for the reminder and nudge. We are called to spur one another on to love and good deeds ( Hebrews 10:24)
God bless your tender heart! When someone is asking for money outside a restaurant of grocery store, I have asked them to
come in with me and I will buy them a lunch or dinner. I should do this more often. We are in such a hurry so much of the time,
it seems. But your response reminds me to be more conscious about this and respond more often to those in need. We may not
be ones to do "great" things in this world, but can humbly be obedient to God and do good to "the least of these" as often as the
Spirit leads us to do. Many times when I do not have any water or food in my car as I drive and see such needy ones, I stretch
out my hand to them and pray.
Thanks for the reminder and nudge, Mishael. We are to spur one another on to love and good works. ( Hebrews 10:24)
