Living on purpose: have the type of love that cares enough to get involved

We don’t have to look very far to find someone who is fighting. Many suffer from a health problem crisis, problems with their children, regretting a loss, financial concerns, marriage problems and the list continues. When difficult situations occur, we commit ourselves, but how often do we consider that God may have brought these individuals to our attention so that we can not pray but intervene in some way tangible? Instead of just discussing suffering and having pity, with the power of God we can help with what they are praying. James Chapter 2 talks about the difference between having faith without getting involved and literally demonstrating our faith for our will to arrive and being a needy friend.

Have you ever been discouraged or in trouble and shouted for God to send help? If someone answered, you knew they were a gift from heaven, right? But if no one came, we assumed that the Lord condemned someone to intervene, but they were probably busy and distracted, or perhaps they simply did not want to get involved. I think this reveals more about what life really is about what we care about to consider. Many are convinced that they are free to live as they want, and I can understand this point of view for a non -Christian. However, for those who are followers of God, the Bible clearly explains that we must assume the responsibility of developing a new way of thinking. A renewed mind will reorganize our priorities of having a selfish attitude to be selfless.

This transformation produces what we call spiritual discernment, where the individual becomes more sensitive to the presence of God. God is always talking, but the question is whether we are close enough to listen to his voice. I thought we were going to develop the attributes and character of Jesus. As 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20 says: “What? Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit that is in you, that you have of God, and it is not your own? Because you are bought with a price: by Therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which is that of God. ” Accepting the gift of salvation that changes life includes the vote of neglecting our rebellion and focusing on the two biggest commandments, which is to love God with all our heart and love others like ourselves.

The Bible refers to those who become the children of God as instruments and vessels of honor, which means that we are called to serve. God’s plan for his children is to strengthen himself in spiritual consciousness and be ready to respond when he calls (that by the way there is much to do). He can be guiding and preparing to present a biblical writing with a friend at work or may write a letter to someone who worries us. There are so many opportunities around us where we could give encouragement, but will we do it?

I am sure you have had moments when you could have used someone’s kindness. Knowing that someone is thinking about us and cares enough to make an intentional effort to bless us, gives us hope. We all want to feel loved and respected. Chapter 6 of Galatians talks about our acts as seeds and that we harvest according to what we sow. Applying this spiritual principle to our lives allows us to see how important it is to worry about others in the same way that we would like someone to worry about us.

If you need a miracle, become someone’s miracle. If you want to have more friends, it does everything possible to be friendly. If you want to be loved, throw fear and intimidation and show a sincere love. Yes, God can organize divine quotes, but obeying is our choice of free will, not only by moral obligation but because we are full of the compassion of Christ.

Jesus told a parable in Luke Chapter 10 about a man who was attacked by thieves and went next to the road. Two men in the community met the situation separately, one of them a minister, and both ignored him. Then a Samaritan man found him and literally saved his life. The good Samaritan became the miracle of the injured man, and now he presents the question of the deep of our conscience: are we the type we pass and look to the other side or the one that stops and gets involved?
