NO ONE CAN STOP US IN SERVING OTHERS (PART-1)

“He who answers before listening—that is his folly.” Proverbs 18:13 NIV

Today’s Insight

To serve others effectively, you must be attuned to what they need. What keeps us from doing that? Assumption. A lady in an airport lounge bought a packet of cookies and sat down to read the newspaper. She heard a rustling noise and looked up to see the man beside her helping himself to the cookies. Not wanting to make a scene, she leaned over and took one herself, hoping he’d get the message. Then she heard more rustling. She couldn’t believe it. The man was helping himself to another cookie! There was only one left! She watched in disbelief as he broke the remaining cookie in two, pushed half across to her, popped the other half in his mouth, and left. She was still furious when her flight was announced. Imagine how she felt when she opened her handbag to get her ticket out—and found her unopened packet of cookies!

Now be honest, didn’t you assume the stranger was helping himself to her cookies? Sure you did. And that tells you a lot about yourself! Too often we’re guilty of making assumptions about people. And once you put someone in a box it’s hard to think of them any other way, right? Every time a good tailor sees a client, he takes new measurements. He never assumes they’re the same size as they were the last time. That’s a good policy.

Application

Never make assumptions about someone’s background, profession, race, gender, age, nationality, politics, faith, or other factors. Once you do, you stop paying attention and miss clues that can help you to know what they really need.

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today. Lord thank you for teaching us to be sensitive to others. Sometimes even we have money in our pocket to extend help to them we extend praying to them and we are not sensitive about their needs. Lord touches my heart to serve un-selfishness with the need of others that they may see glimpse of hope through our good acts and give us a chance to share the gospel for their salvation for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
