True Colors

"Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'" -Matthew 25:37-40 (NIV)
We are called by God to help those less fortunate than ourselves and in doing so spread His love. However, as flawed human beings, we can sometimes exhibit selfish behavior. I was reminded of this selfishness recently when a friend posted the following quote: "You see a person's true colors when you are no longer beneficial to his or her life."

Our relationships with each other shouldn't be built on what we can get out of them. We shouldn't look at friends, family, and strangers with the thought of getting ahead at their expense. Rather, our approach should be the opposite. How can we be beneficial to others? How can we show God's love through our words and deeds?

Whenever we help those less fortunate, we are serving and helping the Lord further His Kingdom here on Earth. Our words and deeds should reflect our true colors - what is in each of our hearts. Each of our small actions can plant seeds that, with God's blessings, grow into something much bigger. We must recognize these opportunities to serve and then act on them.

Check your heart and make sure that it is right with God so that your true colors will glorify Him!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me so that I can love others. Please help my true colors to be of Your will and allow Your love to shine through all of my words and actions. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
