By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
1 John 3:16-18 (NKJV)
The visible trait of a child of God is the selfless spirit and not the arrogant, hypocritical and selfish spirit, such as is very visible without the saying of words. The Lord is going to reach many souls with diverse needs, some ... for healing, the next meal, strength, wisdom, peace of mind, assurance, a helping hand, a listening ear, a vessel of hope, etc Out of these, we definitely can play a role and help reach a soul for God.
If we are gifted, talented, blessed, and privileged in one way or the other, we ought not shut our hearts off of the world, for there is a reason for that which we have and we ought to open our bossom and channels as a conduit for the outpouring and flow of God's love. Our hearts must unconsciously crave to do these things because it is His Holy Spirit that drives this. When moved to these things, please don't hold back, be a blessing and
Be encouraged,
Afolabi
