Roman 14:7 “None of us liveth to himself.”
God never intended us to live alone. He
gives us other people to spend time with, laugh with, play with, create with, work
with, worship with, and love. Just like our relationship with Him should never
be one-sided, neither should our relationship with others. We are called to
give of ourselves both physically and spiritually to those around us. If all we
do is take, we need to check ourselves. Jesus is our model, and He gave all
even unto death.
Caring for one another in both practical and
spiritual ways has a deep and lasting effect. It is often easy to look the other way when there is a suffering, thinking someone else will fill that need or help that person. What if everyone felt that same way? Oh Heaven forbid! The most profound blessings of my
life have come from sharing the love and saving grace of Jesus with another
soul. It is always a sanctified moment where the rest of the world fades away.
I recently said to someone that my profession is important, but I work for God.
No matter where I am or what I am doing, my prayer is always that others see
Him in me, and that I am open to the Holy Spirit’s leading.
People often struggle with the philosophical
question, “Why am I here, and what is my purpose?” The answer is simple: we are
all called to love out loud and care for one another as Jesus did. Chambers writes,
“Am I willing to be broken bread and poured out wine for Him? To be spoilt for
this age, for this life, to be spoilt from every standpoint but one – saving as
I can disciple men and women to the Lord Jesus Christ. My life as a worker is
the way I say ‘Thank You’ to God for His unspeakable salvation.”
Do Something – Matthew West
