A couple days ago, during a much needed conversation/advice, a wise friend asked me: "So why do you do all this? Why do you help the at the church? Why do you help for Sunday School, VBS? For Youth night?"
I was taken by surprise.
My answer:
"Why I help on Sunday School? Well, for the kids."
I didn't realize how confused I had sounded until
I was told that people, without wanting to, helped out just to please themselves and how that wasn't right.
That everything we do should be for God.
"You know I'm always honest with you," my friend said.
"Why are you going on this trip? Have you prayed about it?"
At the time, I really couldn't answer…
I was shocked with the amount of Honesty.
Here I was freaking out about whether or not I had made the right choice about this new route, whether or not this is where I needed to be. Where I needed to go.
That night I prayed. I mean REALLY PRAYED!
And at 4:55ish God woke me up and said, "One more time".
So I asked him again…
If you get to read this friend.. brother, here it goes:
I help because I can.
Because I sometimes may not have much to give him, so I give what I can.
I help because I'm thankful. Of all the time he's given me.
Because I love the children. Because I love the youth.
I help because I LOVE.
I'M GOING because I LOVE…
"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God." -1 John 4:7
