Many of us will never understand the suffering people go through much less endure. Some of them are crying at Jesus’ feet begging for help. One thing I have learned is that you can’t pass someone by when they are hurting for whatever reason. Don’t you think Jesus would stop if He saw you in pain? We lie to ourselves when we say I can’t help that person? The Word says, “we can do all things through Christ”. It didn’t say we can do all things our self. If you reach down to help someone in need, don’t you think Christ will give you the resources to help that person? If you confess Jesus as Lord, then do the things He would do. Reach out and touch the hurting. Christ living inside you will meet that person’s needs to heal their hurt. Always remember we are His hands, feet and voice in this world. He picked you to carry out His plan and commandments. So help out the least of these when they reach out to you. It is the Jesus in you will touch their heart and fill their need.
