"Selfish feeding on our own troubles, and continual pouring over our sorrows, are one secret of the melancholy misery in which many spend their lives. If we trust in Jesus Christ's blood, let us remember His example.
He ever "went about doing good" (Acts 10:38).
He came not to be ministered to, but to minister—as well as to give His life a ransom for many. Let us try to be like Him. Let us walk in the steps of the good Samaritan, and give help wherever help is really needed. Even a kind word spoken in season is often a mighty blessing. That Old Testament promise is not yet worn out:
"Blessed is the man that provides for the sick and needy—the Lord shall deliver him in the time of trouble" (Psalm 41:1)."
