“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Reference: Matthew 25: Ver 35-40
If God comes knocking at your door today, what will you do? Seriously. What would someone do?
Would we be excited? Would we be afraid? Would we run around like chickens not knowing what to do?
Or would we turn Him away?
The fact is, God does come knocking at your door, at your car window or in your office. And every so often we turn Him away. The fact is, there is God in everyone. The hungry beggar, the homeless man or woman, the lame and the sick. He comes to our door in many shapes and forms, but we do not recognize Him.
So little is our faith in man that we judge: "oh why should I give? Can he not work?" Or "He will only go and drink it away". Or simply "this is another way of thievery".
Friends, we justify our apathy with judgements.
Yes, everything we think maybe true. They might drink it away or go gamble or whatever. If we gave in love, don't question and judge how it was spent.
Look at it this way: if we gave, we made God smile; and if he or she wasted it, they wasted a blessing. What I did was between my God and me. What they did is between their God and them. Let us look to our own relationship with God and not worry about theirs. Judgement belongs to God.
So next time God comes knocking, open the door.
