PEOPLE’S NEEDS
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16
The average Christian lives under very normal circumstances. He or she experiences joy, happiness, failure and success and also shares in the aspirations of the community he or she is part of. There are some followers of Christ, however, who stress the scriptural call for Christians to isolate themselves from this sinful world. They try to have as little contact as possible with non Christians.
Such an attitude denies the very essence of Christ’s incarnation, because He came to the world to save sinners. To do so He mixed with all types of people, even those who were considered unacceptable in His time. Scripture declares that Jesus died for sinners. How will they be able to know Jesus unless they see His beauty and power revealed in your life?
If you know Christ as your Savior, you develop an understanding for the needs of others. Because people don’t talk about their needs, we should not take it for granted that they don’t have any. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Christians can become acutely award of others spiritual and everyday needs.
There are many ways in which you can discover and ease another person’s burden if you ask God to reveal them to you. Disciples who live in continual harmony with the Holy Spirit will find this easy.
Prayer :
Please use me, Almighty Savior, to notice and alleviate the burdens of others by Your grace and under the guidance of Holy Spirit.
Amen
