When are we going to start to show that Jesus loves? How come in church you have people saying that we should be out "bringing in the harvest" when you are late even in coming to church on Sunday morning? What is it going to take to make you just stop and listen to someone and really take an interest in someone without focusing on trying to get them saved on the spot and then leave with patting yourself on the back saying, "just doing a days work saving souls" however the one that was saved is now standing there saying, "now what?" As you hand them a flier for the local church and walk away. Yet they have just told you the emotional state they are in and the financial struggle they are facing wondering where to turn and you do nothing to show you care about them. How about a few dollars that will get them their milk for the week or invite them to have coffee and just be a friend to this hurting person.
1 Sam 2:3
3 Talk no more so very proudly; let not arrogance go forth from your mouth, for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed.
AMP
Actions are what is taken into account (weighed) not what you say.
For all of you who think doing good works will get you to heaven...I have news for you! It is easier than volunteering at the local soup kitchen you just have to humble yourself and thank Jesus for dieing for you because He took the death you deserved on the cross. Then submit to Him by allowing Him to change you to become like Him from the inside out!
Why do people make loving others so hard to do? What do friends do? Why not make a compleat stranger a friend? What is stopping you?
Just stop talking! Listen and love! Show you care don't say you care!
