Good Afternoon Girlz!!!
S - Luke 10:37 "And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.”
O - In this passage, the Samaritan certainly did show mercy, but what really gets me is how he totally goes the extra mile. It would have been one thing to stop and check on the injured man, but this guy administers help himself and then takes him to an inn and then pays the bill. The samaritan stopped his world to help this man. A stranger. Verse 33 says, "when he saw him, he had compassion." that tells me it's a heart issue. Are the needs of others my first concern or am I more concerned with my own agenda. 90% of the time it's my own agenda.
A - I think of all the places I go: work, grocery store, the park, church, restaurants, my house. Now, the next time I go to all these places I am going to slow down and pray for eyes to see those that might have a need I can meet. No, I am not expecting to see a beat up person lying in the parking lot, but there could be someone else I see that is having a rough day or is needing a helping hand. A simple act to show God's love.
P - Oh Lord please change me! I believe You could do wonderful things and people would see Your love if I would just take the time to show Your love. Loosen the selfish grip I have on my time and my money and my image. Break down the walls that keep me from trying new things and ministering to others.
P.S. tomorrow is Friday!!!!!!!!!
