Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others.  1 Peter 4:10

We live in a selfish world where we want to do everything ourselves. In our society we have basis against others because we think they can do for themselves. In some cases they can, however Jesus does not ask us to wait to know the situation before we offer a helping hand. When Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan He talked about a man that helped without asking what was wrong and he even offered all he had to help.  God has given you gifts and he has even blessed some of you financially. God did not do those things for you to keep to yourself, he gave you them so you can serve others. The Son of man came to earth as a servant; don't you think you should model your life after him? It's time we start serving others, I challenge you to use the gifts that you have been given and give them away.

Stop complaining and give, Jesus said whatever you do to the least of these you do to me. Do you want to see real change? It starts with you! Whatever gifts you have you were given for a reason, and the reason is to share them with others. Will you start sharing with others?
