When you seek to do good, no
harm shall come to you. Stay
close to the hand of Jesus.
His hand is all that we have
and represents all that he
taught us to do. It is not an
easy task to be His follower.
Nothing worthwhile is easy.
We grow through difficulties
and failures make us stronger
as we recover and make way
a new path. Our needs are met
,and our wants dwindle as we
come to recognize what is
important in life. The Samaritan
knew and tended to what was
in front of him. He did not just
dump the problem but made
sure his charge was taken care
of and then left, saying he would
settle upon his return trip. He
is an example of loving your
neighbor and thinking of others
first. No harm came to him for
this gesture. We read about people
who become our heroes. They
gave up a safe life in order to take
up the cross and follow Jesus.
These actions take courage and faith.
There is celebratory joy and silent joy
when good things are accomplished.
These are gifts that we receive when
we listen to his words and follow him.
