Caring

Published on 6 October 2024 at 09:09

Hi there,

Proverbs 29:7
[7]The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

Galatians 6:2
[2]Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Romans 12:10
[10]Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

Philippians 2:4

[4]Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

I have attempted to finish this post since before hurricane Helene. God has His timing for everything. Through the storm, recovery, work, family and friends I have seen a tremendous amount of caring. Care comes in many forms. It can surprise you when you least expect. When there's days you feel lost or forgotten, care can come along and lift your soul.

When it's most surprising, is when care comes from someone you thought had no concern for you. God uses everyday Christians to swoop in with compassion and bring the Holy Spirit into a situation.

It's hard sometimes when we live in a world where non believers and Christians both have a lack of empathy for others. I thought there was issues with someone I work with. This person proved me wrong and has surprised me with kindness! I've seen my boss and coworkers step up and help each other in a tough time. I see churches coming together and working for the need of others. There are so many ways we can care for one another. It doesn't always have to be a physical act, it can be a kind word or praying for someone.

As we get ready to start a new week, let's put care and compassion to work in our lives and the lives of others. We have so much to be thankful for. So many have loved ones passed on, family missing, homes gone, vehicles gone, no power, no fresh water and no job to return to. Some of these affected have no hope because they don't know Jesus. Let's be Jesus for this world so they will turn to Him.

John 17:1-26[1]These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:[2]As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.[3]And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.[4]I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.[5]And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.[6]I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.[7]Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.[8]For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.[9]I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.[10]And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.[11]And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.[12]While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.[13]And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.[14]I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.[15]I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.[16]They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.[17]Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.[18]As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.[19]And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.[20]Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;[21]That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.[22]And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:[23]I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.[24]Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.[25]O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.[26]And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
