Trish and I don't have a whole lot but we have absolutely everything you could ever want. I have mentioned before that we don't have a lot of money, we live in a very average house, we drive older vehicles, but we have so much more that no one can ever see. GOD is so good to us.
This time of year always causes me to think of those who may be out in the cold with nowhere to go and nothing to eat. I pray daily for each of them to find a warm place and food to eat. I am truly blessed.
Today's word is from Proverbs 28:27, NIV, which reads, "Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses."
I don't know how people can not be concerned for others. Don't get me wrong, I know some folks are where they are because of choices made. I know that some folks are living the way they live because they have exhausted everyone that ever cared about them. I know that some folks have burnt every bridge and robbed every coffer. But, for those who truly deserve some help, how do we not try?
I am not naive enough to think that I can help everyone, no one can. I know that not a one of them is outside of GOD'S sight. I know that He will supply all their needs. I also know that He expects me to do what He leads me to do. I have failed Him many times; I pray I do better.
No one can do it all but, if we all just do what we can, I think it would surprise us all. I believe the Methodist motto at one time was, "Make all you can. Save all you can. Give all you can." May we all be willing to listen to GOD'S voice when He speaks to our hearts to give.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
