It is easy to forget what just happened, what what went on last week or last month. Be encouraged to not forget because people are still struggling, still dealing with loss and still need others to intervene.
This applies to the people who recently went through the horror of the hurricane. I am reminded of the people who lost a loved one. There are many, many situations that we should not forget and people who need your kindness and compassion.
Caring for one another is not always easy, but it is always right. The thing we often take for granted is the fact that we stay so busy and feel like things will take too much of our time.
It only a takes a few minutes to stop and show someone you care. Step out and do something.
Zechariah 7:9 NLT
“This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Judge fairly, and show mercy and kindness to one another.
When you feel a tug in your heart to do something, do it. Stop and do something. Waiting leads to forgetting about it.
You don’t have to have a lot of money or other resources to meet a need. It might be as easy as buying a cup of coffee, letting someone go ahead of you in line at the store or walking across the street to have a conversation. It might be something that God is leading you to do that costs a lot and much of your time. Listen to the leading of God. If you reminded, do something.
We can always be kind to others. Be generous with what you have. God will use you in greater ways than you realize. If God gives you a desire to pray for someone, stop at that moment and pray for them.
Don’t be selfish. Stop wasting time and energy on things that matter only a little. People matter. Do something kind! Choose to make a difference. It doesn’t matter whether you are busy or not. It matters that you can make a difference! Just do something.
1 John 3:17 NLT
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?
