Devotional
February 3 2012 | Day 6
You don’t need much to be a giver (2 Cor. 6:10). One day a friend took me to a remote village in Uganda to meet her family. Since I was the only white person to have visited the village in many months, the buzz quickly spread that a “Muzungu” was there. Soon, about 30 children gathered on the other side of a thatched fence to watch as I talked with my friend’s family.
After pretending not to notice the little ones’ stares and giggles for a while, I excused myself from the conversation and walked over to the fence. I rounded the corner and, in fun, started chasing the laughing and screaming boys and girls who quickly fled into their huts—soon reemerging so I could chase them again. It was a blast displaying this love in action to the children (Luke 18:16). Our impromptu game of tag lasted nearly an hour. When we finished playing, the children took my hands and walked me back to my friend’s hut. Her father-in-law, a wise and gentle pastor, looked at the children and said, “You have made a new friend.” A new loving friendship had been formed.
This was one of many times the Lord has used Ugandan children or a wise Ugandan pastor or friend to remind me that even if my financial resources are limited (2 Cor. 6:10), God will give me opportunities to show His love to the poor (1 John 3:17).
God’s people are instructed to “Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly” (Deut. 15:10). In other words, we can and should give a percentage of our income to assist the needy. We can also supply the impoverished with physical help, words of encouragement, or any number of helpful resources (Luke 6:36). As we give, God promises we “will lack nothing” (Proverbs 28:27).
Prayer: Dear God, Sometimes we begin to think that we need something in order to give. Many of us, in the past, have thought, “I don’t have anything to contribute or to give.” But Lord, you remind us that a kind word, a sharing moment, a helping hand, are all ways in which we can love and bless others. In Jesus’ name, amen.
