“YOU DID IT TO ME!”

Matthew 25:35-40                       (ESV)

“35 For I was hungry and you gave ME food, I was thirsty and you gave ME drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed ME,

36 I was naked and you clothed ME, I was sick and you visited ME, I was in prison and you came to ME.'

37 Then the righteous will answer HIM, saying, 'L, when did we see YOU hungry and feed YOU, or thirsty and give YOU drink?

38 And when did we see YOU a stranger and welcome YOU, or naked and clothe YOU?

39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit YOU?'

40 And the KING will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these MY brothers, “YOU DID IT TO ME”.'”

The message in the Scripture above is pretty plain for most eyes to see, but apparently some eyes can’t SEE very plainly when “this world” is clouding their vision?  Not only should we SEE others who need help when they are needy, but when we look at a NEED with utter disregard and apathy, it is as if we are telling JESUS HIMSELF that HIS “NEEDS” are of no concern to us!  

FATHER IN HEAVEN, cause me to SEE with HEAVENLY EYES and recognize those who NEED YOUR assistance and respond accordingly.   There is no greater feeling than to know “YOU DID IT TO ME”, but no greater shame than to know we neglected to help YOU when a NEED was presented to us.
