THE SAMARITAN

Left for dead the certain man lay there.  The priest, religious passed on the other side, perhaps he had work to do and a name to make for himself.  The Levite perhaps also had much work to do that man could see.  Perhaps he had a writing he had to produce that man would know that he understood what things you had to do so that man could see you know something or you are respectable.  Perhaps he had a good deed to do that would give him favour and popularity of man through his own thoughts and ways thinking he was doing God's service and convinced of it.  It was important to be able to repeat at the functions he was the leader of the Word of God before all and have a report of what you know the Word, you know what is right.  Just didnt have time for the certain man that lay there stripped and left for dead.  Things to do you know.

I wonder if any go to other certain men that are stripped and left for dead and come in apparel that shows they are interested in the story but really don't want to mend the broken hearted.  I wonder if many times some go to have the story in details that they can go tell.  For then others think you have been with the certain man who is stripped and left for dead and needs mended.  It looks real good.  Perhaps many go and speak a line or phrase of the Word, of what they know and are taught that they have done the right thing for they are sowing the seed, you know, in the heart.  Oh yes, they have preached to the one lying on the ground.

There is a great difference between works of the flesh that look good and works of the Spirit that do good.  God is glorified in one and makes record of the conversation and works.

How many really walk in Him and go to those who are hurting?  A lot of what we do looks real good.  A performance.  How many really have the compassion and mercy that reaches forth to touch the heart and care for those who are stripped and left naked by the conditions of this world and need a little loving.  Nothing tremendous from you.  Something TREMENDOUS FROM GOD.  Together an awesome work bringing glory to God and healing to the hurting.

His church is compassionate and does not build a ministry for self.  His church walks in love and truth and builds up the body of Christ and those who SHALL BE  the church.

You are being proven.  Will you pass the test?  Will you be found faithful?  Do you really have what it takes to be His and be told you are a good a faithful servant?

Did you know God Himself plans your day and your response to everything, is your response to Him?  Jesus is with the hurting.  He will send the true ones to them.  You will know them...Oh yes.  The proving is in the response.  God is watching.

The certain man knew much.  The certain man endured more pain than the physical.  He understood much about the spirit of man and the Spirit of God.  He saw the way it really was as God does.

You will know them by the love they have one for another.

If you have been stripped and left for dead...you will know them.  God sees you.  Wait, He is sending His true worshippers and you will know them and you will be one with them.  God will mend your broken heart through His Son Jesus who cares for you and send His precious chosen and you will rise up and walk together the compassionate, merciful church of God.  Just hold on, you had to learn a couple of things like the certain man.  A Samaritan is coming.  He is God's chosen just as you are.  Jesus walks with them.  Wait just a bit.  God has shown you favour that you can see as it really is.  His church is all about true love and truth.

Love and Shalom,
