Matthew 25:45 NLT “And He will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’
Everyone needs help in some way. There are the poor who need our help with food, clothes, and shelter. Yea, but if we keep giving handouts to the poor, they’ll never take responsibility for themselves.
First of all, what they do after receiving our help has nothing to do with us. GOD instructed us to help. That’s all we need to focus on. Our help is not only being a blessing to them, but it’s blessing God who will ultimately bless us.
Secondly, if we feel like they’ll accept our handouts, but never really change, take another step by helping them change. Everyone hasn’t been taught about responsibility, being disciplined, or work ethic. Give people the tools to be successful.
Finally, and most importantly, allow the Holy Spirit to tell you who to help. There are some people who take advantage of our kindness. If we let the Holy Spirit tell us who to help, we can feel good knowing we’re doing God’s work, being a blessing, and sowing a seed in our own lives which will ultimately yield a harvest.
Don’t be afraid to help, thinking everyone who is poor is lazy or a scam artist. Be a blessing and help someone.
