Daily Devotion: BE HELPFUL
1 John 3:16-17
We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another. How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?

Thanks to you and to the big man for this message :)
Your welcome my friend :]
Very powerful message! I have to admit that sometimes I grumble when I have to get up early on a Wednesday morning to attend a small service at an Assisted Living Facility with my husband and our pastor! (I'm not a morning person, you see!) But when I get there, I am moved by the excited looks on the faces of those elderly (more elderly than I am) to see us. Just being there excites them. Yet, we are called to go way beyond that - to lay down our lives for one another. That's what Christ did for us, and we are called to do the same for each other. I think the day is coming in the not too distant future when that will be tested. Blessings all! And good-night from Florida!
Amen :]
It is actually really true. Sometimes we have to fight off that "self" in order to remember to help others who are in need. We never know how much they might really need it.
It is sometimes harder for me to ask for help because every time I did need help I ended up no one is available. (everyone busy with their own stuffs)
You're not alone. We're all on the same boat and we all fall short everyday! :]
Thank you for sharing. I am kind of teary eyed tonight. But I find your outreach helpful. After 6 months I am still grieving the loss of my sweetheart. I probably will for the rest of my life as she is in heaven. Did a post (blog) tonight on grieving actually. There are some thing we will never understand until we get to heaven. In the meantime we share tears of loss and gratitude. Again thank you for your continued outreach. Blessings. - Troy
Sorry to hear about your loss mate! I will have a look at your post now :]
Thank you as well my friend. I appreciate it.
