Is your faith active or passive? In other words, are you sitting on your faith like a seat cushion to make your life comfortable, or are you using it to help make other lives more comfortable? If you are blessed with a strong faith, make use of it to help people in need that have not the faith you possess. Strong faith is a spiritual gift from our Lord. He did not give it to you just to make you feel good. He gave this gift to you to be a light in the darkness for those with little or no faith. Needy people are not necessarily materially poor people. The needy can be a person with all the material things life has to offer, but they are empty inside, unloved. You will most likely need to chisel your way through the hard facade they have built around their heart and soul, but God never said it would be easy. He sent you to them because you have that gift he gave you, and that makes you quite capable of chiseling your way through. We of faith must work hard to bring the chosen of God to his son, Jesus Christ. Do not do it for a reward or with a griping attitude, though you will be rewarded with that overpowering warm feeling of doing for others. Being a good servant is our cup. Let's not sit on our faith. Let's share it to glorify our Lord's name. I am guilty of sitting on my faith at times like most Christians. Let's do this together. As we gather with other Christians in fellowship to worship our God on Sunday, let us gather as an army on Monday to conquer the world with the sword of love.
