Matthew 5:42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.

God gave His only Son Jesus to benefit mankind. God had nothing to gain by sending His Son. God could have let everyone perish, but He loved us enough to provide redemption through His Son.

Jesus also gave to benefit mankind. Jesus gave His life. The Word of God instructs us to live as Jesus lived (1 John 2:6). How many of us are giving solely to benefit others? How many of us are giving our time, talent, and treasure expecting nothing in return?

There are hundreds of people around us that need our help. Some are homeless, some are hopeless, and some just need us to listen. Regardless of what a person needs, we should always position ourselves to benefit others.

Let’s slow down our day, look around us, and see who needs our help.
