How Do We Help

I met a young woman this week. She is a very timid and has a lot of responsibility. Her mother just passed away and she is left with the care of her father who suffers from alzhiemers disease. She wants to do the best for her dad but he can be violent - a consequence of his disease. How do you help a person in this situation? It is not enough to tell her that all she has to do is ask God to help her. What do we as Christians do? How do we reach out in love and with compassion? When the Good Samaritan helped the man left at the side of the road, he did so with no strings attached. Often our help goes unrewarded and unacknowledged. Are you willing to reach out a helping hand with no strings or expectations attached? That is the only way that we can truly express the love of Jesus in our hearts. Show God's love to someone who comes into your life today with no thought of return.
