So You Want To Help?!

I read this the other day and decided to use it as my devotion for today.  It made me think about how much Jesus loves and cares about us.

" Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another." 1 John 4:11

A man fell into a pit and couldn't help himself out.

A subjective person came along and said, "I feel for you down there."
An objective person walked by and said, "It's logical that someone would fall down there."
A Pharisee said, "Only bad people fall into pits."
A mathematician calculated "how he fell into the pit."
A news reporter wanted the exclusive story on the pit.
An IRS agent asked if he was paying taxes on the pit.
A self-pitying person said, "You haven't seen anything until you've seen my pit!"
A self-esteem therapist said, "Believe in yourself, and you can get out of that pit."
An optimist said, "Things could be worst."
A pessimist claimed, "Things will get worst."

JESUS, seeing the man, took him by the hand and lifted him out of the pit.
                                                                                                                      -Selected

Do we love one another enough? Would we take the time to help someone or would we judge and walk on by?

Love in Christ,
Tera
