Think.

Hello, my name is Jasper. I am a quadriplegic and a disciple of Christ. What do you think about in the course of a day? What do you think about when you are all alone and the room is quiet? Maybe your family, your social status, or perhaps it's your job? We have many commitments and obligations to meet in today's world. That takes up a lot of our thought process- just trying to keep up on society's freeway. We have so many things that we see as being so important we can't overlook them.But tell me, how much time in your daily routine do you take out to think about God? Do you think about the sacrifice that he made for us and what he commands us to do for one another? Do you think about helping someone whose life is not as good as yours? Perhaps you may know someone in financial or emotional distress, do you offer any help? Do we think about the fatherless children and the widow who has no husband to lean upon? Christ says that we are to love one another as he has loved us. We are to be a father to the fatherless, mother to the motherless, and don't forget about the old people who are just trying to make it day by day.Be honest with yourself. Do you show any real concern for people like this? Or do you just pass them by as if they don't exist? When you see a homeless person on the street, do you turn your head or do you ever think "there but for the grace of God, go I". These things should cross your mind on a daily basis. It's part of what makes us human, it's called empathy that understanding and concern for what the other person may be going through. If you want your life to be happy, prosperous, and joy filled, just start doing things to help other people. Don't forget about the less fortunate, and pull your brother up to your level. Don't just turn your head and do nothing. You can only get out of life what you put in. If you put in nothing, then nothing is what you will receive. This is just a short message to give you and idea of what your mind should be on. Reset your mind not to be selfish, not to be evil, and above all, not to forget God.
