If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen under its load,
do not leave it there; be sure you help them with it.I remember reading somewhere.
The duty of helping oneself in the highest
sense involves the helping of one’s neighbours.
How often do we see someone struggling with something?
We see them but do not think about it, it doesn’t concern us, so we just walk
on past the person.
Is it because we don’t care for the person
struggling, or maybe because we don’t know them?
I think it does not matter who they are, if anybody
needs help, we should be willing to help in any way we can. Whether we know
them or not or even if we do know them but do not like them, I think we should
offer our services. After all, by serving others we are serving God.
We read in 1 Peter
4:10
Each of you should use
whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards
of God’s grace in its various forms.
Everyone has a gift bestowed on us by Jesus through
the Spirit. By being diligent in our reading of scripture and prayer, we may be
able to hear the spirit explain what our talent is.
Prayer
Living
Father, we are here today to give thanks for all the gifts You have entrusted
to us. Help us to serve others as Jesus did, He did not ask anyone if they were
worthy of His help, let us also have this willingness. We need to be able to
recognise when our help is needed and to know how to help in each situation. Bless
those who need the help to be able to accept the offer which can be difficult
for some people. Amen
