If I could.

[Shadowprophet]

I would help people, I have dreams <--metaphorical If being able to help people.

I am not a preacher, I am not able to evangelize, I am not good at debating with people, I am not good at handling situations. To be honest, It's hard to know what is right.
Consider this, I could put all my efforts and all my time into being the best Christian I could personally be, and you all know that truthfully over half the people that are Christian would disagree and tell me I was doing something wrong. No, The only thing I have ever found in life that can not be disputed is that Love and caring is never the wrong action and in a lot of cases. Being a loving and caring person can rub some people the wrong way.

I've been called, Happy Morning person, Chirpy, And people genuinely don't like it. Don't get me wrong, being a positive type of person does resonate well with the majority of people though. But ultimately, There is no action one can perform that won't rub some people the wrong way.

I do want to Serve God. All I know is God has Given me Love, I want to share that. God has taken away great pain and replaced it with Not just Joy, But Peace. I want to share those things. What I don't want to do is Argue with Atheists, My thinking is, Atheists have made up their mind. It's not my place to correct people, We are all here with free will to choose God or not.

So I don't feel evangelism is for me.

I do want to help people, But, Not just Christians. I want to help Truly sick people, people who truly need help whether they are Christian or not.

Some Day, I want to open up a Store, It will have food clothing and medication. The store will function as a store. for all intents and purposes But it's true reason for being would be to feed and cloth and medicate the homeless, Those who need a hand.

My reasons for this are many, I am 42 years old, My entire life was given to me, I've never had to try for anything, I've never had to put in a hard day's work, My life has been Really ultra blessed and the world has never asked anything from me in return.

I want to give. I want to help.

But those are dreams, How Can I help people in that capacity? I myself am blessed and need for nothing, but I don't have the kind of money to do something like this. something like that, May always be a dream, But, I know what I can do and what I can't. I love God, I am not the best Christian I could be, But I do put in the effort. But, I don't want to argue and bicker with people who have made their choices and finding people who haven't heard of God well that's a fairy tale, I don't want to condemn people for the choices they make. Because Ultimately, God gave us that freedom to make those choices, And I am No judge.

How can I help people, But do that in a way that isn't about Spiritual condemnation? I don't want to Argue the Politics of God, People love him and feel his love or they don't. It's a choice. you know? Yet, I still have a strong desire to help people who genuinely need the help, What can I do?


I can hear it now, People will come through and tell me, Well you don't want to evangelize, So, therefore, you aren't being a proper Christian. Save that stuff for someone who isn't forged in the fires of Gods love, save it for someone who doesn't feel Gods Embrace of peace Daily.

I Feel Gods love even now. Evangelizing isn't for me.

But I still want to help people,, "All people who need it"

Well, I'm much younger than you so my advice my not be the best. What I recommend and what I am going to do in the near future is volunteer at your hospital. It isn't much, but it's something.

That's actually a pretty good idea, I never considered that, Thank you

It sounds to me like you want to reach out to people in practical ways, apparently you don't feel compelled to preach, that's not a requirement for ministry. The key to the kind of ministry you are describing, in my experience, is find a need and meet it. My suggestion is take two minutes, thank God for the good things in your life, ask him for a chance to share with others, and this is the important thing. Sit there and listen. You probably won't get some earth shaking epiphany but that kind of a prayer is important. Just simply ask, let God know your listening and wait. It's been my experience, God will find some way to honor that prayer.

Grace and peace,
Mark

Hi. There is always room in the church for those of us who may be introverted characters. You could be an encourager just like Barnabas in Acts 4:36 "Barnabas (which means ‘son of encouragement’)," It's amazing how a friendly word here or a little compliment there can encourage people and put a smile on their faces. As well as the obvious 'front of house' ministries the church needs those who just get on with it out of sight of all but God. You are probably one of those. Bless you.

 

[Brotherly Spirit]

That's all we can do is our best. If we're judged by how perfect we are as Christians, not a single person would stand alive in the judgment. Only advice I can think of is consider your circumstances and what you can do to start helping people. Even the smallest thing can mean much, example is simply saying "Hello, have a good day" could help someone who felt unnoticed and lonely. Another is you notice someone is having or had a stressful day, so you offer or go ahead doing something for them (e.g. cook or wash dishes for your wife).
