''I asked and I was given.''
How do you feel when you do something out of a norm?
When nobody seems to care about that particular person and there you go,doing something for that someone.
I was in Khaleel (a typical Malaysian place where they sell all kinds of food-we call it 'Mamak' here).There was this old man asking for money.He said he wanted to buy a drink.My heart sore.I wanted to give him money as I took out my purse but one of my juniors said 'You can buy bread for him.''.I asked him whether he wanted a drink and the type of drink he wanted.He said 'Ice Tea''.I ordered for him.I gave to him personally as to show my sincerity.
Do you know what happened?
After he finished his drink,he said,'Jie jie,thank you for the drink.I am from !@£$% hospital.''.I smiled to him.I realised that he couldn't even utter those words properly.I was so sad that I held my tears.I saw his hand,it was physical deteriorated.He was older than me but he did not have the ability to distinguish.I was sympathetic.
Then I realised.
In church today,I asked God to grow in Him for his gift upon me.To use me to help the poor and needy.To have His heart.And He gave me one.It was great to feel(and sad as it was heart-wrenching) what He feels on the poor and needy.It was amazing that I had a chance to exhibit His love.I pray that I will continue to shine for him and to help the poor and needy.It is a great joy to serve the poor and needy.=)
Prov. 14:31 Anyone who oppresses the poor is insulting God who made them. To help the poor is to honor God.
Prov. 22:9 Happy is the generous man, the one who feeds the poor.
