Father God, let this touch someone’s heart in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
When a person’s heart breaks by a loss of a parent, child or just anyone we know. It doesn’t go away. It just lingers in our minds why? Our heart longs to meet them again. Good memories cannot take the place of them, but it can bring us peace knowing they are with God. Someone ends their life we can say hey! Why? This we know is some quick discission that was mostly a mistake on their part. Something that was not meant to be. We have to forgive them and know that God holds them now. We can’t change what happens in this life. But! We can change the way we live this life God has given us as a gift. We can give gifts of compassion, kindness, hope, respect and move on in a right way. We are told it is better to give than receive. It reads in Acts 20:35, ~ Paul speaks of: In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’
My mom used to say: If you give it will be given back to you tenfold. She was right. You ever take clothes to the Salvation Army. I have. Next thing you know. Someone is asking me if I want their hand me downs and I end up giving them to someone else. This is how God works. Not only in material items. But life itself. When you struggle in any situation. God guides those that can assist. Continuous praying to the Lord Jesus and knowing He is your friend. You will not want for nothing. In fact, be still, pray, write down what you prayed. God has a sense of humor; God reveals His sense of humor through the animals He created: ostriches, elephant seals, platypuses, kangaroos, etc. (Genesis 1:25). He first surrounded Adam with these creatures to relieve Adam’s loneliness, and one way, based on my experience, was by making Adam laugh. Especially elephants. Can you imagine how big elephants would really be if they had salt on their peanuts. Lo! Just saying! Adam was then charged with naming the animals of the world. God has all the emotion He has given us. God has everything to give with His gifts to His children. He hears us when we cry: He never grows impatient with us in our need. “Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, here I am.” God has given us His powerful mind to do good. God’s treasure is His promises to us. He doesn’t give us these gifts to receive. He gives us these gifts to give where there is a need. We pass His provision on to others.
It reads in Hebrews 13:16, ~ Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
In this when we pray for others and their situations, most of the time it is probably something we have been through, or we know of someone who has gone through the same situation. Your gift of praying for others and giving it to God. He will give gifts to them of healing, unity or blessings. God can make all new and improved.
