God indeed desires that you help your friends. One of the values you have to learn early in life is being compassionate and lending a helping hand to whoever needs help. It’s one of the ways of showing love to those around us.

This is God’s desire for us as his children, to be always willing to help out where ever there is a need.

Let’s see what the bible says!

Never walk away from someone who deserves help; your hand is God’s hand for that person. Don’t tell your neighbor, “Maybe some other time, “or, “Try me tomorrow,” when the money’s right there in your pocket. Don’t figure ways of taking advantage of your neighbor when he’s sitting there trusting and unsuspecting. – Proverbs 3:27-29 (MSG)

God’s word teaches us not to walk away from someone who needs help. Why is that? God needs our help to help people around us, not that you go around talking to strangers; your parents have to be aware of whoever you are helping.

We are God’s vessels on earth and so he uses you and me to answer the prayers of others when we render a helping hand to those around us.

The bible also says, when your neighbor comes to you for help, don’t tell the person to come back, don’t turn him or her down when you can actually help at that moment.

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, Come back later; I’ll give it tomorrow “when you now have it with you.

As a child of God, don’t go looking for ways to hurt or harm others. That’s not the attitude of a child of God.

Jesus wants you to love everyone just like he loves you. How do you do this?

By obeying God’s word, and following what the bible says.

PRAYER:
Precious Holy Spirit, please teach me how to always help others when I can. Amen

ACTION PLAN:
Help someone today

DECLARATION:
I am a child of God, I am available to be used by God.
