Helping those in need
Isaiah 58:10-11 MSG
If you are generous with the hungry and start giving yourselves to the down–and–out, your lives will begin to glow in the darkness, your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight. I will always show you where to go. I’ll give you a full life in the emptiest of places—firm muscles, strong bones. You’ll be like a well–watered garden, a gurgling spring that never runs dry.
GOD has given us so much. We want more but we need nothing. When HE created the world HE created it to perfection. Anything that we are in need of HE has placed them in this world. Everyday we see those in need of help; it has been placed in our hearts to help those less fortunate than we are. Because of sin; people no longer trust to help those who are in need due to the fact that there are those who pretend to be in need. Those who really are in need miss out on their blessings from those who can provide help because those who can help look at everyone who is asking or begging as a union of people who are out to work a scam. I look and feel the same way and because of this; those who ask me for money to buy food; I take them into a local fast food restaurant. Tell them to ask for whatever they want and as much as I can afford then I watch them eat for a moment. Most people who are scamming you will not go into a restaurant or accept the food that you have purchased for them. Those who are truly hungry will accept the blessing you are passing on to them; this also will open up an opportunity for witnessing about your faith in JESUS. Homeless people who need clothes and food know where to go to get both and what time they are to be at a location that is set up to be a help. Natural city folk can usually spot a scammer blocks away; so they know who to help and who to leave alone. City folks can always spot those tell, tell signs. City folk or not do not allow those scammers to take your joy away; help those who are in need of help. Don’t be concern with what they do with what you have offered to them; that is none of your business. You obey what GOD has instructed you to do for those who are in need of help. GOD has promised to bless you according to your obedience in HIS Word just as HE has promised the outcome to those who mock HIS kindness. Be not deceived; GOD is not mocked. Whatever a man sows that is what he will reap; Gal. 6:7.
