Doing God's work

[heron]

As Rafael mentioned above, serving people with obvious needs is part of what God asks of us.

Christendom seems to be in a wave of hype, where teachings on taking care of each other is not top on the list.

Another things He asks of us is prayer for others. When I have friends praying for me, uncanny things happen -- someone will call me the same day I go through a crisis, with a resource suggestion or needed connection. There's plenty of "you were on my mind" at precisely the right times.

It's not a grandiose push-and-shove kind of mission, but a tightly intergrated network of little things that God and people do for each other.

 

[heron]

Then the King will say to those on His right, Come, the blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

For I hungered, and you gave Me food to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me....

Then He will answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, in so far as you did not do it to one of these, the least, neither did you do it to Me.

Mtt 25.
