Blessed be our God, because of His great mercy we were reborn again by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
To be where you can be useful and to be involved in the lives of others, often even by giving up your needs, means to leave life behind.
”So whoever knows how to do good and does not do it, commits a sin.” (James 4:17)
God teaches us to do good wherever we are. About a month ago, lon, a person in his seventies told me about the old and damaged fence of his house and the fact that he needed to replace it, he just doesn't know how to get in touch with those who could do it.
It was clear to me that this man needed someone to help him, and so I offered to be of use to him. Seeing that I was willing to help him, he was filled with great joy and did not know how to thank me. On the day when the fence was replaced he was happy that his wish had come true. Today the fence was changed, the old fence is gone. In 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17 Paul says: “The old has gone, the new is here!”
And all these things are from God, who made us peace with Him through Jesus. May the good God help us to be worthy of the call made and by any action, word or deed so that we can honor Him. God through us may touch all men even if they have the fences of their broken hearts, He will make all things new.
