A friend recently shared a quote from Mr. Rogers. Mr. Rogers said, "We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, 'It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.' Then there are those that see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes."
When we choose to follow God, we choose to serve others. Through our service to others, we serve God. We can begin to serve by recognizing the need of those around us. After we see the need, we need to take action. We need to respond to the need. With God's guidance, wisdom, and strength, we can take on the problems of this world. With God's love, we can see and respond!
See the need, call on God, and respond with His love and strength!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sharing Your love and strength. Help me to use these gifts to see and respond to the needs around me. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
