Take your eyes and your ears and your hands and your feet and your thoughts and your heart: Give them completely and unreservedly to Christ.

As Christians we have a responsibility toward the poor, the oppressed, the downtrodden, and the many innocent people around the world who are caught in wars, natural disasters, and situations beyond their control.

The Bible teaches that we have a Christian duty to help our neighbors in their time of need. We are called by God to bring the water of life for both soul and body. God created them both, and His purpose is to redeem them both.

May our gratitude find expression in our prayers and our service for others, and in our commitment to live wholly for Christ.

Be honest about your weaknesses and ask God to help you overcome them so you can serve Christ more effectively.

God wants to use you right where you are. Every day you probably come in contact with people who will never enter a church, or talk with a pastor, or open a Bible— and God wants to use you to point them to Christ. You may be the “bridge” God would use to bring them to Himself.

Oh God, if You want me to serve You, I will. I’ll be what You want me to be. I’ll go where You want me to go.

If we are going to touch the people of our communities, we too must know their sorrows, feel for them in their temptations, stand with them in their heartbreaks. Jesus Christ entered into the arena of our troubles, and He wept with them that wept and rejoiced with them that rejoiced.

Many Christians would prefer to hear “What a great guy” from the crowd rather than “Well done, good and faithful servant” from the Master [Matthew 25:23].
