What about ME?

The devil has a great way of making us focus on ourselves. We see what is happening in our world, we talk about it quite a lot , but not much gets past the talking stage. With cuts and more cuts from the government, how can I protect myself and my family?

Let me tell you a story of a person who gave his life to Jesus a few weeks ago.

I will call him Jack (not his real name). I called him on Saturday morning. “How are you Jack?” There was a slight pause on the other end of the line, then he said “I almost took my life last night, I was so close”. “What would possessed you do to such a stupid thing?” I asked. “Well,” he said “I have nothing. No food. No money. NO HOPE”.

He went on to say “i reached my lowest yesterday. I found a sandwich in the bin and a banana and I ate them. It kept me going.” I was in shock. We don't have much we live day to day and God provides for us sometimes on a day to day basis other times we get more blessings.

We emptied our cupboards. My wife made him a pack up for work. We gave him beans, tomatoes, stuff from the freezer- enough to get him through till pay day .

He gets £700 pounds a month and when he has paid his bills he has very little left over. He is a single man and can't get any other help.

How many more people are starving? We are not talking about Africa here, we are talking about Leeds in England.

Jesus, when he saw the multitude, had compassion on them. “YOU FEED THEM” He said. “Where can we get food to feed 5000 people” they asked. They found a boy who had a few fish and loaves and gave them to Jesus... and 5000 people had their fill! Wow! What a God- He has compassion and tells us “You feed them”.

We can pray and be the answer to our own prayers. Don't wait around for someone else to do it- you do it.

What about me ?

You are so precious to God. He loves you with a passion. You are the apple of His eye. This article is not to bring condemnation on you if you have give if you don't have contact us we will help you. Please don't be proud we all need help. People have blessed me time and time again when I had no hope God found a way through generous Christians I watched my girls eat food that was given to us through generous brothers and sisters and I thank God for these people.

We are a family. Jesus said “Love one another as I have loved you”.
