His Word

Day 449 – Luke 14:13-14

But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.

Luke 14: 13-14, NIV

Sometimes, we give so that we can receive something in return. But Jesus challenged us to give and serve those who cannot repay us. We need to always check our hearts. We should stop expecting something in return from the people that we serve. Let’s learn to give ourselves away out of the abundance of our hearts and not out of the longing we have inside. We are surrounded by people who badly need our help. Now, the question is, will you help and serve them even if they can never repay you? If your answer is “Yes!” then Jesus said in His word that you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.

May you learn to serve and love those who cannot repay you.
