At three different times yesterday in three
different ways, I heard the importance of us as the Body of Christ being
called to be Jesus' Hands and Feet. He clearly talks to us in His Word about us
being used for His Glory.
In Matthew 25:35-36, 40 b it says,
"For
I was hungry and you gave Me food;
I was thirsty and you gave Me drink;
I was a
stranger and you took Me in;
I was naked and you clothed Me;
I was sick and you visited Me;
I was naked and you clothed Me;
I was sick and you visited Me;
I was in prison and you came to Me.
Assuredly, I say
to you,
inasmuch as you did it to one
of the least of these My brethren,
inasmuch as you did it to one
of the least of these My brethren,
you
did it to Me."
We are Jesus' vessels in which He pours Himself
into us as we allow Him to. When we are walking filled up with His Spirit, then
our hearts are soft and pliable for Him to speak to us and show us where
we can be His Hands and Feet.
When the doors open wide for us to feed the
hungry and thirsty, clothe the naked, visit the sick and those imprisoned, we
are doing not only to them but as to Jesus.
Be His Hands and Feet today! The opportunities
are endless!
In His Love and Mercy,

What a privilege to be allowed by Jesus to function as His hands and hearts to others here on earth...to be known as the body of Christ. WHAT AN HONOR!
