Today at Church our Pastor talked about how as Christians we need to take the opportunity to carry people in their time of need. Although this isn’t a physical action, it does require effort. The action of carrying someone means to take someone and they are down in a valley or having a hard time and walking alongside them. Now your responsibility is to only walk with them as far as you are capable of, then someone else will take over. I got the opportunity today to carry someone. I’m not telling this story to toot my own horn, but to show the power of God!
I was at the gas station earlier and I saw a guy standing outside the door. I had never met him before and I don’t even know his name. He was holding an empty gas can. I asked him if he needed help, and he said “I am begging for change so I can get gas, I need to get to the south side of town and get some money from my mom so I can feed my children.” Now there is a disclaimer that comes with this. I usually don’t help people in this situation. This is because I know we don’t have a lot of money. But something made me go back to our van and get him some change. But something stopped me and I proceeded to take him over to the gas pump and fill his gas can up. He then proceeded to tell me that his car was down the street parked at an apartment complex. So I ran inside and purchased what I came for and took him home. The Lord changed my heart and my attitude during this experience. I got the opportunity to carry someone in their time of need.
So I ask you who have you carried lately?
