"Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them. If you can help your neighbor now, don't say, 'Come back tomorrow, and then I'll help you." Proverbs 3:27
The giving of what is good requires self to be put aside. It requires taking less and loving more.
The giving of what is good is often a right now giving, rather than a withholding for a better time.
This withholding of good can be detrimental to those whom are lost.
What is this good that should be given? Isn’t it the only thing in this world that is good-Jesus Christ?
To withhold Him from others is like Him withholding breath from you and me. It can be deadly.
To withhold this good for a better time, place or day, is to say that they will be available. Neither you nor I know if they will come to be. So to withhold the sharing of the Good News from them, for a better time, is to assume tomorrow, or the right time will come to be, thus robbing them of the gift of Salvation that is today.
For the Lord says, “Indeed, God is ready to help you right now. Today is the day of Salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2
Today is the day, right now is the time that we should offer and give good to those who need it. Today, you and I, who are filled with Christ, have the power to help, share, and offer His good.
Will you offer Him, who is good to someone who needs it today? Though not one of us deserve anything, He who loves us gave us His good, His best, His Son. He alone is deserving of all that is good, and that which is good is His Son Jesus.
You Jesus alone are good and You are worthy and deserving of all the good our mortal bodies can give. May we offer more and more of You to all who need it, now. Amen
