1 John 3:17
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion–how can God’s love be in that person?
You cannot love God and not love His people. You cannot have a heart for God when you have no compassion for those who needs compassion around you. If you love God and have His compassion in you then you are able to love like Christ. Your heart breaks for the things that His and you hurt for the things that hurt. A lot of us want to wait until we are millionaires before we give to those in need. Some of us want to hold on to all things we can bless others with until we have excess left over. But that’s not how we’ve been called to act. We ought to give out of what we have even in the moment. There will never be a perfect time because you will always have something to take care of.
Make a sacrifice for someone and cause a difference. Give to others your time, money, resources, rides to work, food, etc.
You cannot have it all and be ok with others around you suffering and you not having the desire help. Help out any and everyone you can when you have the privilege to. Let Christ shine through you and His name glorified.
