Now in Joppa there was a disciple
named Tabitha (which translated in Greek is called Dorcas); this woman was
abounding with deeds of kindness and charity which she continually did. - Acts
9:36
We do not know much about Dorcas but one major thing we know about her is her Benevolence; she is kind and she helps people continually.
Benevolence is a trait that should be found in every believer. It is the benevolence of God that allows Jesus to come and die for us. When Jesus told His disciples that the poor will always be with them, He was simply telling them that there will always be opportunities to help. You are no better than the less privileged. You are where you are by the grace and mercies of God.
You have been helped so that you can help others, you have been assisted so that you can assist others and you have been raised so that you can raise others.
Benevolence should not be a one-off thing. It should be our way of life. Be kind to people you meet in this journey of life, help those you have the capacity to help. Give what you don't really need any more to somebody that might need it.
Our lives should not be self-centred. Selfishness is not of God. You don't need to have plenty before you share. When you die, what matters is not the assets you have but the lives that you have touched and impacted.
You are an angel to somebody around. Kindness and compassion are vital in our Christian walk. To be like Jesus is to be full of compassion for people.
As you start this week, look around you and see opportunities to help.
My prayer for you is that in times of need, help will come to you speedily.
It's a blessed Monday morning. Do have a splendid week... 🤗
