Today’s Thought “Community Activism” G. Ward

 

Romans 12: ²⁰ “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”

 

This enemy spoken of indicates any who oppose your conviction concerning something or someone and whereas its base is primarily conditional and whereas we were once enemies of the cross, to witness our Lord’s grace (i.e., unconditional), despite our hostility to be changed, another’s lack should uncover a believer’s hospitality that renders basic care – regardless to whether their change of heart happens on our watch or not. Human kindness has become more unusual than before and from the beginning was meant to disarm hostility and whereas our Lord teaches every disciple, you and me, to allow our light to shine unto HIS attitude while in the earth, HE fed multitudes despite their hatred of HIM, yet compassionately and freely gave.

 

And Lord God, we’ll ask many times, what shall we render and surely the answer remains, walk as HE walked. May we rise through an intentionality uncommon to man; beginning with love for the brethren of Your fellowship. It’s then that the others will know us by that love and crave that bond and may we proclaim we’re nothing apart from HIS redeeming us, escorting them to Your Magnificent Throne, all because of Jesus, Amen.
