DB - Tuesday 7th April 09 - Who's On My Guest List?
When you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed. - Luke 14: 13-14
It is natural that everyone wants to support the winning side. True sportsman does not believe he can win all the time. Nonetheless, support that comes after a failure is more precious. In real life, it is not easy to accept failure. Able to manage and to pick up the pieces to move ahead needs lots of courage and determination. Believe me, for one, I know what it is like after losing two general elections!
We must try our best to reach out not only to people whom we know that support us. To win the hearts for God begins with us. God has called us to be hosts to the unbelievers among us. As we reach out to serve the poor and the needy, we are holding feasts for our Lord.
Be a Volunteer today and see how our Lord can bless us in the work we do. On each third Friday of the month, a few of us gathered at Sunlove Home for the mentally disadvantaged, to administer to these 200 residents with songs, dance, food, sharing of the Word and Praying. It has been six years since, the result is the residents are happy and the team members too have been richly blessed.
Opening our hearts and homes blesses both us and others.
