Be a Blessing

Proverbs 14:21
He who despises his neighbour sins, but blessed is he who is kind to the needy.


Hope you all had a good week. Thank you for the responses to my email last week. God will continue to teach us all to walk in his ways and according to his will for our lives and marriages.

This week I have been challenged on the issue of reaching out in love and letting love conquer all. At this present time a lot of people, friends, neighbours, acquaintances and people I know are going through a challenging time. It seems tough out there but in the midst of it all, God is there. I thank God for what he has done and is currently doing for me and I know that I am in the position that I am not because I am good or perfect but because God has been gracious to me and he wants me to make a difference.

I ask myself what difference I make to people’s lives around me and what difference I can make. The first thing that comes to mind is prayer and I try to pray for everyone that I believes needs it but that’s all spiritual, what can I do to make a difference in the physical.

2 Corinthians 8:7
But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us —see that you also excel in this grace of giving


My older daughter mentioned last week that she and her sister should set up a charity called (NIMO) and give all the clothes they hardly wear and toys to people that need them. I laughed because it seemed funny but actually in the quest for wanting more and more sometimes we adults sometimes forget how much God has blessed us and how much we can bless people.

Many people are struggling to even buy food in the house, pay bills, mortgage and other things. In our quest for more and more, we have become selfish and do not even think about how we can help our friends, neighbours and family.

Let’s make an effort to reach out in love to people that need it right now, am sure you all know one or two people. Can you offer to buy some food, help to pay part of their bills or ask in love what help you can offer. God is love. Jesus fed 5000 with 5 loaves of bread and two fishes. Share the little you have and God will bless you with more.

Deuteronomy 15:7
If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tight fisted toward your poor brother.

Lets reach out today and see if God will not continue to bless us. He has blessed us with material things not just to serve our own purpose but to reach out and bless those around us.
