Am I my brother's keeper? The famous question asked by Cain. To a sad extent it exists today in our very self-centered societies. We are very me oriented people.
GOD would not have it so. We were built for community and to act as a community. To protect each other and build each other up. We are all living stones in the great temple of our GOD and thus we are to support each other in HIS purposes for each other's lives.
GOD made this abundantly clear in HIS greatest commandment to us. Love the LORD your GOD with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength and to love your neighbor as yourself.
I was blessed yesterday to hear a young man on a British Talent Show. His voice was magnificent and he received a standing ovation. But he in the blurb before the performance let the audience know something. Without his partner's encouragement he would not have the courage to be there.
Now think on that for a second. How many gifts of GOD wait to be revealed because some shy individual waits for an encourager who has not yet stepped to the plate.
We ARE are brother's keepers, ladies and gentlemen. We are here to lift up are fellows so they in turn have the strength to lift up others. And as we make these stands of grace, our names may not be noted but GOD who sees all, blesses us for acting like HIS Son. For Christ lifted us all up to where we could never reach on our own.
May GOD Bless you.
