DOES THAT MEAN YOU’RE NOT COMING?
Have you noticed how we often make offers to help but never follow through? How many times have we said, “If I can ever help you, let me know” but never really meant it?
A Christian lady made a phone call. When another lady answered, she said, “How are you doing?”
The lady who answered said, “Oh, I’ve been so sick – for three days. The house is a wreck, the children haven’t had anything to eat and are going wild, and I can’t get out of bed!”
The caller said, “I’m so sorry. Let me come see you, clean your house for you, and cook something for your family. What does Bill like to eat?”
“Bill who?”
“Bill your husband.”
“My husband is not Bill. His name is Carl.”
“Oh, I’m so sorry. I must have called the wrong number!”
After a pause, the sick lady pitifully said, “Does…that…mean you’re not coming?”
This humorous story reminds us of the importance of Christian service, if we hear or see a need, we must try to fulfill it to the best of our abilities.
The Apostle John teaches in 1 Jn. 3:17-18, “But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” Proverbs 3:28 puts it this way, “Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.” Then, Heb. 13:16 instructs, “Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”
We may not be able to meet every need, but when there is a need we see and can meet, we must strive to do so. Remember to do good and share what you have because it will be pleasing to God!
In Christ’s Love, Mark T. Tonkery
