Serving Him

Serving Him…

Good morning, I wish you all a very blessed day! Today, let’s reflect on how serving those in need is serving Christ Himself.

The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’  Matthew 25:40

These words of Jesus reveal something extraordinary about how He views our acts of mercy. When we feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, care for the sick – we’re doing it for Him. Every tangible expression of compassion to those in desperate need becomes an act of worship.

Think about that. The meal given to someone who hasn’t eaten, the clothes shared with those who have none, the visit to someone who’s suffering – these aren’t just good deeds. They’re holy moments. When we serve those Jesus calls “the least of these,” we’re serving Him.

This isn’t about earning favor; it’s about following our King’s example. He who had everything became poor for our sake, showing us how to give ourselves away in love.

Today, let’s look for opportunities to serve Jesus by serving those in genuine need. For when we serve them, we serve Him.

Sometimes, we are so wrapped up in ourselves that we forget those around us. Let’s begin our day by asking ourselves:

Who has God placed in my path today that needs His love shown through me?

How might seeing Jesus in others change the way I respond to needs around me?

Dear Heavenly Father, Sometimes, I get so caught up in my own little world that I miss seeing those in real need around me. Open my eyes today to see as you see. When I encounter someone hungry, lonely, or hurting, remind me that serving them is serving You. Thank you for showing me what true love looks like through Your Son. Help me follow His example – not just with good intentions, but with hands and heart ready to help those who need it most. Let my life today be a glimpse of Your kindness, a reminder of Your hope, and a reflection of Your heart. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
