Help!

James 1:[27] Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

This morning I am getting up with my roommate and the rest of the Pre-Medical Club of Arkansas Tech University and we are going to work in a charity organization that clothes, feeds, and nurtures impoverished people of the community. I feel a true blessing coming along. 

Is there something you can be doing in your community? If we are TRUE Christians, we are going to be the ones reaching out in love and showing that Good Samaritan side of us. I always fought the thought of doing volunteer work. Just because you don't get paid, doesn't mean that you don't receive anything. You will receive abundant blessings in Heaven for the work you do on earth.

(Now, don't get me wrong, you won't make it to Heaven by works alone, but good works certainly don't hurt when you are a true child of the King.)

Hebrews 10:24] And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

We have a scriptural commandment to provoke one another to do good things and to love others.. I was provoked into doing something for others and now I'm obeying my commandment and encouraging everyone around me to get involved, help someone, change a life and let God change their heart. 

Lord, I pray for the communities of all who have read this and I pray that You would give us the holy boldness and wisdom to speak to ones who are in need and help them in any way possible. Lord, let us help their physical conditions as we give You control to work on their hearts. We love You and thank You for all that You do and we are so blessed that you have spared us from those impoverished conditions. It is only by grace that we are are where we are. Amen.
