"In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” (Acts 20:35)
We all are blessed with various gifts from the Holy Spirit. We are to use them not just for ourselves but also for those who are in the need of them. Sharing is what our Lord teaches us to do. If you have a gift of speaking then you might use it for encouraging the depressed souls, by telling them the word of the God. If you are financially strong then there are many poor people who are waiting for your generous act of sharing. If you have a gift of writing then write for the spread of The Word; there might be many thirsty souls waiting to be served. Whatever gift you are blessed with, always keep in mind that you are blessed not just for yourself but also to be a blessing to others. Help is not just monetary, as it is considered most of the times, but it’s about extending every gift that the Holy Spirit has blessed you with. It’s our responsibility to recognize these gifts and use them correctly for the glory of our Lord.
Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." (Lk. 14:12-14). God cares for the need of the poor and oppressed. He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done (Pro. 19:17). This verse tells us the strength with which He supports His people. Are we capable of lending to the Lord?? Still He states it so, letting us know that when we give we shall receive too. Thus says the Word, if a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered (Pro.22:13). Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked (Ps. 82:3-4). He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me?" declares the LORD (Jer. 22:16). Lord strongly defends the poor and needy and expects His people to do the same as an act of righteousness.
It’s time for all of us to recognize our gifts given by the Holy Spirit and use them to serve the Lord diligently and sincerely. For our Lord keeps no one’s due but fills the serving hands with double the blessings. May our Lord renew your mind as you consider being a blessing to someone.
