" Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others."-Philippians 2:4
" Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."-Galations 6:2
"As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith"-Galations 6:10
As life goes on,many of our my brothers an sisters are becoming weary.The devil doesn't stop to attack.Everywhere I turn,there's a disheartened soul,who finds itslf going back to sin.EverywhereI turn,many are losing heart and many are overwhelmed.And I find myselfwondering:where have I been?Why was I not there to detect the fall in its early stages?Why did I get so absorbed in my small troubles?And it dawned on me:I still lack love.Love that serves and is ever readyto lift the soul in prayer.
And I realise,we needeach other in this road.Many are becoming weary and they need a wordsaid in season.Many need to be reminded of God's promises.Many need to be called and reminded,someone cares and morover,God cares much.I'm learningthat we really need to dig deep and found out how people are.I'm sad that,I had thought to fulfill this duty but have failed.But a I start this new ay,I am grateful forthe opportunity to take my cross and do all that God requires,including taking care of my brethren-more especially my sisters.
"Selfishness and
cold formality have well-nigh extinguished the fire of love, and dispelled the graces that should make
fragrant the character. Many who profess His name have lost sight of the fact that Christians are to
represent Christ. Unless there is practical self-sacrifice for the good of others, in the family circle, in
the neighborhood, in the church, and wherever we may be, then whatever our profession, we are not
Christians."-DA,p504
"Sin is the greatest of
all evils, and it is ours to pity and help the sinner. There are many who err, and who feel their shame
and their folly. They are hungry for words of encouragement. They look upon their mistakes and errors,
until they are driven almost to desperation. These souls we are not to neglect. If we are Christians, we
shall not pass by on the other side, keeping as far as possible from the very ones who most need our
help. When we see human beings in distress, whether through affliction or through sin, we shall never
say, This does not concern me."-DA,p504
