Helping to Meet the Needs of Others!

In all the world there is not anything more important than a person. How do we know this? What caused the Father to give his Son? Why did Jesus leave heaven? Why are we here today? All these questions lead to a single conclusion: You are important to God and, because of that, you are important to me. So, I share my life and my heart with you.

THE ROAD OF LIFE


Good Morning to You,

I really believe it to be a very important fact of life—part of what we accomplish in life we do accomplish quite by accident. Sometimes it’s the presence of others in our lives that helps us complete the task we might have before us. I’ve found that to be true over and over again. God surely places lots of neat people in our lives—all along the road of life—to help us accomplish what we need to accomplish. Where would we be without them?
On the other hand, who you become in life is not a matter of accident. It is a matter of choice. But, it still takes people all along the road of life to help us achieve what we become. Don’t you believe God places those people along the road to help us down that road to success? I do!
What about your life? How do you see it? Do you approach each new day full of energy and exuberance? When you meet someone along the road, do you do whatever is necessary to help them make their day? Their life? The Scriptures always encourage us by telling us God is at work in us to work his own good pleasure (Phil. 2:13). And we are to love one another (Rom. 13:8).
Just as we are dependent on others, others are likewise dependent on us. Along that road to success these people are looking for help just as we are. Most are looking for just about the same things we are looking for in life. For those people we meet along the road, we must be fully present in every way. Don’t let another single thing appear more important than what you are doing for those persons at that very moment. People are that important! It is our job to help them know that and that we genuinely care for them.
That kind of attitude and action would help us so much as we travel down that road of life, don’t you think? It is such a wonderful road when we look at it that way. h
