The purpose of this entry is to inspire believers to come together without needing any reason but being together. Our help is found when we are together. Our joy is strengthened when we persevere together. Our future is brighter when we come together. Bible says, “One Lord, one faith, one baptism” (Ephesians 4:5).
To be perfectly honest, God is not pleased when we act out of self and not sincerity. I remember my boss warning new employees who were about to enter into a job where they would be serving and helping people of color in impoverished areas. He said, “relate to the people, do not develop a savior complex.”
Do you know what really can put a mind at ease? Talk about Jesus. How do you encourage the downtrodden and defeated to rise from their ashes and pursue greatness? Talk about Jesus. Where does healing come from once physicians claim your disease to be terminal? Tell them about Jesus. The family is on the verge of self-destruction, and no one has respect or direction.
Yes, take care of yourself. But how many times do we take care of others? Furthermore, how many times do we take care of individuals that are not family, friends, or part of a job function? Believers must have a mindset to take care of people with the same fervor we take care of our personal affairs.
Imagine the strength we would have if all Christians were truly a body of believers. Yes, we all accept Christ as Lord and Savior; but do we accept the fact He died for every single person to achieve redemption? Matthew 7:1-2 declares, judge not lest you be judged. By the same measure you judge, you will be judged also.
