Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone-especially to those in the family of faith. – Galatians 6:10 (NLT)
SEIZE OPPORTUNITIES TO DO GOOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you go out of your way to bless someone?
Are you given a chance to be of help to anyone?
Seize opportunities to bless one another
It will glorify God when you care for others
It is more blessed to give than receive
It proves that we are obedient and really believe
Don’t let any occasion to do good pass by
You might not get another one for it easily flies.

Are you someone who easily grabs a chance to bless another person? How many times did you regret not doing something for someone when you could easily have done it? How many opportunities have gone by that you could have shown others what Christ would have done? One of my good traits is helping. I have a gift for sensing easily when someone needs help. Even before someone asks help, I have already extended myself to them. On my first hectic day at Starbucks as a Barista, I saw a woman in crutches crossing and I dropped what I was doing and ran to assist her. She was very thankful and never forgot me for that good deed.
The bible tells us that we should always seize any opportunity to do good to everyone, especially to other believers. Whenever we bless others with something, God is pleased. It also glorifies the heavenly father because we are mirroring his generous characteristic and his loving kindness.
PRAYER
Lord, open my heart to all opportunities to do good.
REFLECTION
Why should we grab chances to help and serve others?
