It seems unfair that only a few have access to resources meant for the entire world. Some call it capitalism, others call it entrepreneurship. But the fact remains a great portion of this world have less than what they require to survive. And even more lamentable is that conditions remain atrocious in spite of continuous awareness campaigns. However, do not despair, we have you to help.
Wait! Do not run away screaming. I won't ask money from you. Instead, allow me to tell you a story...
He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury. He saw a certain poor widow casting in two lepta. He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them, for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her lack, put in all that she had to live on." Luke 21 1-4
We give thanks to the Lord for all the blessings that we receive. And quite a number forget to give thanks for these. But others go beyond just giving thanks, they share it. And when we share it, the simplest of gifts become profound blessings to others.. Sharing the Word of God may seem mundane and too simple for others. But it can change lives in unimaginable ways. A simple prayer can send the Holy Spirit and empower even those who feel alone and abandoned. A smile can turn a gloomy day into a life full of love. We may not have much in this world but when we give even when we lack, we store great treasures in heaven.
And in your small way, you can change lives. And in numerous instances, the simplest gestures are all it takes to touch lives. God blesses us so we can become blessings to others.
