Regardless of season or the state of the economy, it seems people are always in need physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually, and mentally. Some may see this as a challenge. The church should view these obstacles as opportunities to demonstrate benevolence.
Benevolence is not just a term used to describe the act of giving someone food, shelter, or money. The noun definition of benevolence is a desire to do good to others. “Doing good” to others may be shaped differently depending on the needs and circumstances of individuals in need.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:10
As we travel through each day, let us find ways to be joy creators and door openers as we act as mail carriers delivering the good news. Much work is to be done. Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” (Luke 10:2-3).
