Withhold no good from them.....
More and more in recent weeks, the Lord has impressed upon me the need to give to people in need and so I have been doing that. But as I look around, there are so many needs. So many hurting people. And so my question is, "But who do I give to. "Because I can't possibly give to all.
Maybe we can't give to every need that comes our way. Maybe we don't have a monetary gift to give but can give in other ways.
God will bless us in whatever way we can do.
The story I am about to share, starts off with a need, and ends with one too. I am copying it from another site, but I believe it is this kind of situation that God wants us to do for other people.
Apples
💗💗💗
In this story, we notice that he does not answer her question of, "Are you Jesus." Hopefully, his answer would have been no. Hopefully, he would have explained something along the lines of, "But Jesus loves you. "
We do not give to get something from God. We should not listen to those that expect God to make them wealthy.
We are to give with a cheerful heart.
We are not to announce what we give to get attention.
The girl in the story had a need. She needed to sell her apples and when they were knocked over, then she needed help retrieving them. And because it was the fault of the man whose accident caused it, he repaid her for those that were damaged.
Jesus probably would have healed her blindness. The man couldn't do that so he did what he could.
Just as what Jesus asks of us:
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in power of thine hand to do it. Proverbs 3:27
Thanks for spending a few minutes with me today, Friends. Have a blessed evening coming up from wherever you are.
