Why does God give me the task, and you, the task of visiting the sick or listening to the lonely? He could send better people to do these tasks or arrange for these things to be done with out any of our help. There could be people more capable and skilled to work for Him.
I now realise that it is for me and our benefit. Yes, there are others to visit and listen and do other things for Him. But by allowing us to participate there is great gain to us. It gives us the chance to learn compassion and empathy. By doing these things our love for Christ will grow. I am humbled that He should trust me. My love for Him and others will increase as I mature i my Christian journey.
