THE DAILY BLUEPRINT 4/4/11 Help Them! Romans 12:13a When God's children are in need, you are the one to help them out! When you give your life away to JESUS you become part of a large family - the body of Christ - please note this is NOT just your LOCAL church body that you belong to - but everyone who is a Christ-follower - they are our brothers and sisters in Christ - often there is divisions between us - but when it comes to needs - we should be the ones meeting the needs of the Body! Many in our churches right now are hurting - many put on a brave face and act like all is ok - but the truth is, many struggle with many things- and we who are of the Church must lead a hand - I have found many children in my class whom come from broken families - I was from a broken family and I am able to help these children understand that they can make it through this hard time - in the same way if someone is physically suffering in the church -we must help them - there is no second guessing - the world around us won't be helping - nor should they be the ones to land a hand to the body - it should come from within - not that we should turn down the worlds help - but we don't need it -we need to work together in this - we must begin to know people around us - not just in a passing "hey how you doing?" sort of way - but really see what they are about - their weaknesses and their strengths - we must get out of our comfort zones and roll up our sleeves and help - just look around your city - there are needs everywhere - we should help with them - after all we are family in CHRIST! WORD TO THE WISE: IF WE CLAIM TO KNOW THE LORD - WE MUST KNOW OTHERS AND THEIR NEEDS - OR ELSE WE COME UP SHORT! BECAUSE OF CHRIST WE CAN GIVE AIDE TO THOSE IN NEED AROUND US! BUILDING ON THE WORD for 4/3/11 ARE THERE NEEDS IN THE CHURCH AROUND YOU? WE MUST HELP THEM!
