There are people in your personal circle - people in your community - who desperately need someone to care. Be there for them. And remember, there is no greater difference you can make in someone's life than to introduce them to Jesus Christ and to take them to heaven with you! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2010:25-37&version=NIV 2009-10-01T22:23:45-05:00 Who is really doing God's will: a religious person who has the entire Bible memorized, or an outcast who shows selfless love to those around him? In this parable, Jesus teaches that simply knowing God's Law isn't worth anything if we don't put it into action in our lives. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/A-Life-That-Matters-3906 2008-07-28T17:16:33-05:00 If you do just what comes naturally, you'll live the kind of life most people do - self-focused, self-centered, self-serving. But a life that's only as big as you are is too small to live in. And you may be feeling that emotional and spiritual claustrophobia right now. Business as usual is just not satisfying the restlessness in your heart. Your life is full, but not really fulfilling. Find your own Calcutta. Find some people who need you and start pouring your life out for them. The lid will come off your life. http://biblica.com/niv/appendix/concordance_resultsingle.php?rowid=103 2008-01-18T16:17:16-05:00 A person from the country of Samaria (part of Palestine).
