Matthew 25:37-39 (NKJV) 37 \u201cThen the righteous will answer Him, saying, \u2018Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You<\/span>?\u2019<\/p>\n

Taking time to care for our needs is important and God wants us to do that. The thing to watch out for is spending all<\/em> of our time on our needs and not having or paying attention to the needs of others.<\/p>\n

Every day that goes by there is someone that is in need of something, somewhere. It could be something big or something small; we just never know.<\/p>\n

Last week as I was at the local Post Office, I noticed that the Postmaster was outside, clearing brush and cleaning up the parking lot.<\/p>\n

He stopped me to say hello and asked how I was doing. I noticed he was hot and red as a beet, from working hard. I looked at the time and realized he was working through his lunch break.<\/p>\n

As I drove away, I knew I needed to get him something to eat and drink.<\/p>\n

So, after finding the nearest place, I grabbed him lunch and a drink. It probably only took me about 15 minutes of my day. I went back and dropped it off and he was so thankful, and then I was on my way.<\/p>\n

As I pulled away I heard God say, “you touched him in the deepest part of his heart.”<\/p>\n

The next day I went in to pick up my mail and he said, “thank you so much, you saved my life. I got into that project and it was bigger than I thought. Thank you Pastor so much, it meant a lot.”<\/p>\n

You see, I may not have literally saved this man’s life, but he was truly grateful. God knew what he needed and He personally touched this man’s heart that day through my hands.<\/p>\n

Giving God our hands and our time not only touches the hearts of others, but it touches the heart of God as well!! Amen.<\/p>\n

Matthew 25:40 And the King will answer and say to them, \u2018Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.<\/p>\n
