“Our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action” (1 John 3:18 GNT).Like the man who fell among the thieves in the Samaritan Story, the world today is filled with people who are victims of someone's act of wickedness.
As Christ's ambassador on earth we are to lend a helping hand. It is our Duty to always lend a helping hands to a world that is filled with Satanically inspired wickedness. We are to be instrument of God's mercy on earth.
According to Wrick Warren "Mercy takes action where others take off. Mercy isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty. And Jesus calls every one of his followers to have the attitude of the Good Samaritan.
Jesus deliberately chose a Samaritan to be the hero in this story, because the Jews hated the Samaritans. Mercy isn’t just about helping people you like or helping people who are just like you. Mercy is about helping people no matter who they are, what they look like, or where they come from"
May the Lord graciously help each one of us to be true to him in this stewardship of showing mercy.
