How Much Am I Doing?

Scripture: Matthew 25:40 “The King will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’

Observation: This is one of my favorite verses, when I’m doing something for others. The rest of the time I seem to ignore it. I just received an email from Lorrie from my church about feeding the people at Bread of life and I was going to ignore it because it’s a little bit of a hassle to get food there on a Monday night. I’m sure Jesus would understand or not. He has given me so much and He asks so little in return and yet I give Him even less.

Application: As soon as I’m finished writing in this journal I will send an email back telling Lorrie I would be glad to help out and bring either pasta or potatoes for the dinner. Instead of waiting for an opportunity to help I should be looking for ways to serve my Lord. There is so much that can be done and Jesus did everything for me and I do want to be welcomed into the kingdom.

Prayer: Dear Lord forgive me for my laziness and give me strength to help others in your name. You have given me so much and you deserve so much more from me. No matter what I do I will never be worthy to enter into the kingdom and only through your mercy and grace do I have an opportunity to do so. I love you please guide me in a way that will honor you.
