1 John 3:17 NASB "But whoever has worldly goods and sees his brother or sister in need, and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God remain in him?" I had to turn back! Today's reading asks us an important question, does the love of God remain in us? As I drove by him, I seen him wave his arm. I wasn't sure if he knew me or I knew him but I had to turn around to see if he needed any help. He was gone by the time I got back to where he was so I am not sure if he needed help or not but I was willing to help. Having the courage to help those in need is a living example of knowing Jesus Christ. There will always be those in need, and those who have been blessed with worldly goods, the key of course is whether or not we are willing to lend a hand to those in need when we are blessed. It's a simple question to ask ourselves but a hard question to answer when we make it all about ourselves! Let's keep our eyes open for the opportunity to help someone today! peace, tom
