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 was taught to help! Today's verse, while it may be difficult to read, speaks volumes about greed. My parents taught me to help, no matter what, no matter where. They didn't just say the words "go help", they lived them. Time after time growing up, I seen my parents help those in need. Whether it was a financial blessing, or an article of clothing, or simply a hand on a shoulder, they were there. I learned from them how to live today's Word and I pray that I have taught that to my daughters and grand children as well. The key is...do we pass those in need out of selfishness, or are we keeping our eyes open for the opportunity to help?! The question has been asked, what say you? peace, tom
