Do for Others

Philippians 2:3-5 (NLT)“3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.”  Keep others in mind and be willing to go the extra mile for someone else. Christ came to help others and I believe our purpose is to do the same in some way. So whatever way God’s equipped you to help others be willing to share it and share the love of God with someone else. Remember, it's the little things that can make the most difference. Also, know the love you show to others by helping them in some way is a seed planted. One plants, another waters, and it's God that gives the increase. So do your part in planting or watering and let God do his part.
1 Corinthians 3:6-9 NLT says, "6 I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. 7 It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. 9 For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building."
You never have to beat someone over the head with religion, just learn to show the love of God and they'll get it :). God is about love not a religion, remember that. Because of His love Christ came and helped us so now be willing to help another. Stay encouraged and never let your light for Christ go out. Stay in the race. -Eri
