38 For I came down from heaven,
not to do mine own will,
but the will of him that sent me.
John 6:38
King James Version
Do we have it in our heart to help others?
Would we really know how to help them?
Do we have a front seat in the cinema of life, or perhaps a perfect, multi-dimensional view of another person's life, just as God has?
Would we really know what is good for others?
Perhaps not.
But sincerely wanting to be of help to others, is a wonderful start.
And we will need the help of God, through JESUS, to do that.
Only by the GRACE of God, the HEART of God, and the SPIRIT of God, can we be of true, effective, and precise help for others.
We cannot see with human eyes.
Ah, but with spiritual eyes, under the grace and guidance of the SPIRIT of God, we can!
And that can only occur, if we have become born again in Christ.
Before we can really help others as God would want us to, we have to tend to self first, so we must be JESUS' own first.
Only then can we truly see what others need.
Only then can we truly know how to help.
Only then can we see the bigger picture, as God wants us to see.
Only through the power of the Holy SPIRIT of God, can we see what is needed, and do what is needed to be done for others.
By ourselves, we won't be able to see the true picture of things.
Only God knows what lies in the heart of a person.
Only He sees the dreams, aspirations, desires, and intentions every person has.
The only fool-proof way to help -- for surely, we all have the urge in our hearts -- is to be God's Own, through JESUS.
View the verse I shared with you above.
That means, the SON of God, came down to earth to help, but only THROUGH the Father's Will.
He waited upon God, He prayed to God, before He acted.
That's the only way we can be of true help to others.
By our own, limited thinking, we may not be of perfect use, for we do not see what God sees.
We do not have the heart that God has.
But if we align ourselves with God, become born again in CHRIST, we stand a great chance of being a TRUE blessing to others.
We will be instruments of God, to help others.
A true born-again Christian doesn't think for his own anymore.
He waits upon the SPIRIT of the LORD to guide him, to inform him, to teach him, to activate him.
Gone is the self, and the ego.
Most people in the world help, for reasons of their own.
They act upon their own thoughts, and devices.
They have not given their hearts to the LORD, and wait upon Him, seeking only His DIVINE Guidance and Activation.
If we act upon our own thinking, we may be more of a danger to others.
Only by the SPIRIT of God can we see clearly.
You must really give GOD a chance to work in you.
For over 11 months now, I have surrendered my little will, to the INFALLIBLE Will of the LORD.
The Holy SPIRIT of God guides me each time I write, or do most anything.
He has humbled me in many ways.
My old ways haven't worked, but He waited for my surrender.
And now that I have, the work I do glorifies GOD alone.
Gone is the tiny self, the huge ego, the erring ways -- even as I have a long way to go.
Such is the foundation we need, if we are to SERVE the Lord.
When self is gone, and only GOD remains, we can be of true service to others.
Who better to teach us, than the LORD Jesus, who was obedient to the end?
There can be no greater example to OBEDIENCE.
We must submit our tiny selves to the LORD, and follow JESUS alone.
As a result, all we do for others, glorify God alone.
There is no desire for personal wealth or recognition.
All glory is offered to God.
As God so rightfully deserves.
We cannot do enough for the CREATOR.
It's also beautiful to listen to what Jesus says here:
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them,
Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me.
Matthew 25:40
King James Version
We do things for others, because we love them -- stranger, or not.
We do things for others, because we love God.
We do things for others, because we want to be of real help.
We do things for others, because the SPIRIT of God teaches us what to do, how to think, what to be, guiding us, every step of the way.
Jesus, in His short ministry, gave us so many beautiful TRUTHS from heaven, another of which:
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name,
that will I do,
that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
John 14:13
King James Version
That all we do, like all Jesus did, was to GLORIFY the Father -- our CREATOR.
The world has become the way it is now, because people forgot to look back to God.
There is no more love, and gratitude.
It's time to bring JESUS back into our hearts, and the SPIRIT of God, will teach us what to do each moment.
Have faith in that fact.
Only through JESUS, would we know what to do.
Only through JESUS, can the world became a God-filled world again, as it was before Adam and Eve disobeyed the instructions of God.
Surely, we all long for that world.
If we don't have it now, while we're all still alive, we can still have ETERNAL life with JESUS, but only if we are His TRUE followers.
It is never too late to become God's OWN.
But there is no time to waste.
Call upon JESUS now.

P.S. Soon as I gave credit to Bible Gateway for the verses, God gifts me with the site's "Verse of the Day":
For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained
that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10
King James Version
My life has been this way since I first asked to be CHRIST's own.
And yet, I continue to be in AWE each time.
As such, I await God's NEXT surprise!
It is wonderful to live as an obedient child of GOD!
