(KJV.) PROVERBS 19:17
MAY I HELP YOU?
Brethren, we are more blessed, to give than to receive; (Acts 20:35); therefore, as believers, let us show empathy on those who are lacking, the poor and needy; those who are suffering from natural disasters, flooding, earthquakes, famine and if possible, provide temporary refugee camps for them; for, we are all brothers and sisters from same heavenly Father, and no one knows what will happen to us that we will need assistance from others; for, whenever we do good will to others, stretch our hands to those who are suffering; we are doing the will of our Father, and our good gestures are not done in vain, but will be rewarded by Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior with multiple blessings.
Case in point, when Jesus ministered to the multitude at the coast of Judea beyond Jordan; there came a young man unto him and asked him a question, saying; "Good Master; what good thing, shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"; (Matt. 19:16); Jesus said unto him, "If thou will be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me." (Matthew 19:21); however, when the young man heard what Jesus said, he went away sorrowful; because he had great possessions and cannot give away everything; therefore, he chose earthly possessions over his eternal life; brethren, earthly possessions are temporal, our treasures are eternal, stored up for us in heaven our final destinations; therefore, if we are blessed on this earth, it is by the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and if we have received grace from him, then we ought show mercy, extend that grace to others with what we have received from him; and whenever we show kindness to others, give to the poor and needy, we do all those good gestures unto our Father, and what we give, we will receive back again in multiple portions; for it is written, "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." (Luke 6:38); also when we give to the poor and needy, we give to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, and our good deeds are counted as righteousness in him, thanks offerings to our Father, for all that he has done, doing and will do in our lives forevermore.
CONCLUSION:
Dearly beloved, this text is about love for one another; if we love one another, as Jesus Christ loves us that he gave himself as a sacrificial lamb to take away our iniquities, then we justified in him; as believers, whatever possessions we currently have on this earth, are from our Father; therefore, let us use our earthly treasures to uplift others, who are in difficult situations; for, we walk by beggars on side walks, begging for their daily bread everyday, we see homeless people under our bridges and subway stations, shivering with cold in winter seasons, we also see or hear of natural disasters occurring to nations, our fellow brothers and sisters all over the world; therefore, let us pray for the peace of this world; if possible, give tokens of love towards the poor, needy and to those who are suffering from natural disasters; for our good deeds will never be forgotten by Jesus Christ, but will be rewarded by him with multiple blessings, peace and joy everlasting; for we will never know, what will happen tomorrow that we will also need help from others; today, the good news is; if we have not receive Jesus Christ into our hearts as Lord and Savior, let us come unto him with all our labors and heavy laden; he cares about us, and he will give rest to our souls forever and evermore. Amen and Amen!
