The POWER to HELP (to do GOOD)

PROVERBS 3:27 Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.28 If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say, “Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.”

I've now been at Calvary five years (in February 2012)  and I must admit that coming there I was a selfish Christian, and honestly  that innnate human character trait rears its ugly head from time to time, but GOD does and has enabled me and many others at this wonderful place of worship to think about & serve the surrounding communities.   Truthfully speaking on the norm we get up in the a.m. thinking about our coffee, our work, our schedules, our.......you name it, and this is not the heart & mind of Christ.    Calvary began an event called SERVE DAY (pictured above are some folks taking part in such a day) where we have hundreds of projects that people have wrote in about, or has come to attention that could use the heart and hands of people who have a desire to HELP (Do Good).    But here's the phenomenal thing...while this EVENT occurs once a year, you are not held to waiting till that day comes to SERVE.  Nope, you can cut your neighbors lawn when you cut your own.   You can drag in their trash cans, when you drag yours in.  If you see a need......according to the scripture.... you don't have to have an invitation......all you need is a heart.
Are you JESUS to your neighbors?  At work, at the fast food restaraunt, in general? Do you look for opportunities to bless those in need?  GOD has given each of us the POWER to DO GOOD, to help those in need.....the question is are you going to be a SELFISH SUPERHERO or WILL YOU ACTUALLY PUT ON the IMAGE OF CHRIST!
