Imagine for a second that you are a priest in a huge city, with hardly no money, but a desire to spread the Love of Christ and Word of the Lord. You say that you would do anything just to see another soul get into Heaven through the ministry that God has blessed you with. You personally pick up half of your congregation every Sunday morning on the way to your church.
Yet, one day, as you are taking a walk down the sidewalk, you see a mother and her child, alone, scared, and seemingly hopeless. You only have five dollars in your pocket and ten to your name. You have your Bible in your hand, walking to your church to meet up with a couple who is about to get married and wanted some counseling.
So you walk right past them. You dont know whether or not they knew Christ. At that point, you were in a hurry, and you didnt really care. Now in your heart, you really did wish the best for them, but to them you just walked off.
Dont just focus on Spreading the Gospel and staying close in the fellowship and serving of those that you are close to. Make sure to take every opportunity to serve and share the Gospel of Jesus to those that you may never see again in your life. We do not know our tomorrow, so we must take every God given opportunity of today to give and love like Christ gives and loves. May be that last five dollars, was meant to be hers so that her and her daughter may go through one more night, go to church tomorrow, and receive Christ for eternity. Take the opportunity, every single one you get, and serve and love like Christ!
