BE AWARE NOW=WHAT IS NEEDED

 

BE AWARE NOW=WHAT IS NEEDED

 

Did you ever hear

The famous QUOTE

Of Saint Teresa of Avila?

 

“Christ has NO BODY NOW

But yours=no hands=

No feet=but yours……..”

 

BE AWARE NOW=what

IS needed=we have

To be Jesus=for

Someone else=in this world

We have to HELP

Someone else get a LIFT

In their difficult times

If we can

 

“He approached=grasped her hand=

And HELPED her up”                                                                                                              Mark 1:31

 

This gesture of Jesus

HELPED Simon’s mother-in-law

 

To get up after

CURING her of a deadly fever

 

What LOVING GESTURE

Can we DO

To help someone get along

In this world?

 

BE AWARE NOW=

WHAT IS NEEDED

We are Jesus’

Hands and feet

In this world

 

“Be not like others=

For your Father knows

WHAT YOU NEED=

Before you ask him”                                                                                                        Matthew 6:8

 

“And sold their possessions

And goods

 

And parted them

To all men

As every man=HAD NEED”                                                                                                 Acts 2:45

 

“But who-

Has the world’s good

And sees his

BROTHER’S NEED

 

And shuts up

His bowels of compassion

From him

 

How does the love of God          

Dwell in him?”                                                                                                                        1 John 3:17

 

I wonder IF

We can think of some

Little thing=to HELP someone else

 

Maybe CARRY a bag of groceries

For a shut in

 

Or offer an arm or a hand

To the aged

Or someone=who just had surgery

 

We can all write

A NOTE OF ENCOURAGEMENT

To someone else

To give someone

A LITTLE HOPE

 

“Let us therefore

Come boldly

Into the throne of grace

 

That we may obtain mercy

And find grace

TO HELP=in time of NEED”                                                                                                     Hebrews 4:16

 

Let us BE AWARE NOW=

THAT WE ARE NEEDED

 

And BE

The hands and feet of Christ

To someone else=in today’s world

IN JESUS’ NAME
