Paul said in Acts 20:35 (NIV) "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' "
The other night at ReFuel, during small group time we were talking about how hard it can be to ask for help. Then one brother asked this question, "How do you feel when you help someone else?"
That's a good question.
Well, it feels good when you get to help another person, you feel blessed, right?
Then he said, "When you don't ask for help, aren't you depriving someone else of feeling blessed then?"
It's an interesting way of looking at it. Sometimes it's so much easier to meet needs than to confess you have them.
But in the body of Christ, shouldn't we not only offer help, but also accept it in return?
