Growing up I always found it easier to help someone else out with their chores or fixing something or cleaning as they needed, but my to-do list at home was always at a standstill.
The world floods us with requests for help or money for the sick, the hungry, or abused, for adults, children, and even animals. All these things should and do touch our hearts.
But our care for the world and its needs should not become greater than doing the chores that God has given us to do within His household.
The first responsibility we have as children of God is to shine as lights in a dying world full of the works of flesh.
All our labor, time, and effort in God, should be towards that which is eternal.
John 6:27, Labour not for the meat which will perish, but for that meat which endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him has God the Father sealed.
As ambassadors of Jesus Christ, we share the Gospel of Hope which shows our labor of love for those in need.
2 Corinthians 5:20, Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did plead with you by us: we urge you on Christ's behalf, be reunited with God.
Luke 15:10, Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.
Giving to a cause is a good thing but giving the hope of salvation and deliverance though Christ Jesus, is priceless.
