He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother!

Dearest Lord Jesus, help me today by your strength in the Holy Spirit, gifted to help me live my earthly life to honor and glorify you, not only to carry my own cross but also the cross of those you sent into my life. Amen.

When my Saviour Jesus lives in me, I am filled by His strength and wisdom in His unfailing love and humility to do every good work that belongs to my heavenly Father.

The sun was just rearing it's light over the horizon, making it's presence for another new day when my mobile rang. The call belong to a fellow brother currently in some deep financial misfortune. He wanted a hundred ringgit for food and transport to last until his payday month end. He just started working.

I dug deep into my pockets, struggling hard, I managed to haul up my last two hundred ringgit supposedly to last 10 more days to end month, looked towards heaven, gave thanks and asked my Saviour Jesus to bless it, reply via short messages on my mobile to my brother that he could collect the hundred ringgit anytime.

Honestly, I was doleful to part half of what's remaining, cognizant of running into problems arising from unforeseen circumstances. I battled to ask my Saviour Jesus for strength to give cheerfully and be victorious over my weakness of selfishness. Indeed in my Saviour Jesus, I have the victory; He lives in me to provide me His strength, wisdom in His love and humility.

Boy! It was a proud moment for me and I am certain my Saviour too. I feel certain I had place a smile on my Saviour's face.

Give to those who ask, and don't turn away from those who want to borrow. Matthew5:42

As a Christian, a privilege I proudly proclaim, I have learned to share everything I own because doing that means sharing Jesus and His love in my heart. Of course the ability to discharge this duty belong to the power of the Holy Spirit gifted me by Jesus. It is my Saviour Himself doing His own work through me.

Thank you Lord Jesus for teaching me not only to carry my own cross but also the cross for others because your love filled me with the ability.

I am but only a beacon for the Light!
