LOST OPPORTUNITIES
If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace, but now it is hidden from your eyes. Luke 19:42
There are certainly few people who can say in all sincerity that they have no self-reproach about letting opportunities for doing a friendly deed or speaking a word of encouragement slip past. A day seldom passes without the opportunity to cheer up someone who is depressed; to help someone who is going through a hard time; or to speak a friendly word to someone whom the struggles of life are threatening to overwhelm.
To be sensitive to the distress of others, and to do your utmost to relieve that distress is a definite way of preventing regret, when it is too late to do anything about it. To be offered the opportunity of doing a kind deed for someone, and then to turn away instead, will impoverish you more than the other person.
It is a basic rule of life that it is impossible to enrich other people’s lives through love and good deeds without enriching your own life at the same time. Giving yourself in love and service to others is the privilege of everyone who loves and serves Christ with a sincere heart. It is a certain way to spiritual growth.
Find God’s purpose for your life while you serve others in His glorious name. Throw yourself enthusiastically into the service of your fellow man. Use every opportunity in His strength, and the future will hold no self-reproach for you.
Prayer :
Holy Lord Jesus, make me sensitive to the distress of others and help me not to let any opportunity for service pass me by.
Amen
