He will use us to aid others...

Hello brothers,
We don't have to search hard to find someone in need or someone who is suffering. There are so many around us who are ill and have family or friends that are battling sickness and some grieving losses of loved ones. We all seem to be so busy in this modern and complicated world. There is so much going on that our schedules are packed so full it leaves little time for all who need us. We even struggle to keep God where we should...
Let us make it a point to extend ourselves just a bit further than we think we can and offer some aid to people in need. Some of the help needed isn't a structured ministry or mission. Some of the hearts that need us are right next to us. Warm a heart, hold a hand, and dry some tears. One day He will wipe them all away but, in the mean time, we should comfort one another.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort." 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 niv

We all need to enhance these skills, I know it seems sometimes we don't have the words so if hard-pressed, use His!
Be wise and loving everyone,

In His loving grace,
Michael...........
