Who will take it up?

Was having tea with some friends and we got into discussing about duties, obligations vs genuine relational caring!! Where do we draw a line to define genuine care? When do we know if our intentions are pure, or it is bec we felt that we are forced to- doesn't every friendship begin with the first step, or call it initiative to get to know- to extend a hand -to make the first move??? Can we then term the initiate move as a 'scheme or a move which is laid with an ultimate motive?' ; leading to the question "why can't we let it move on naturally"...I think many a time, it does mean that we need to take a deliberate step n start off , to lay the first brick, subsequently to pave the foundation, and then the pathway...

I was reminded of a very old song we once sang years ago in our ISCA-
=whoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall surely be saved and live ever more,
but how can they call, how can they receive, when they have not heard of Jesus before,
how can they hear when there's no one to tell, of grace so abundant, of love so divine,
how beautiful are the feet of such people, who will walk there and break down the walls...=

how very true- I think I may have jumbled up some words but we do need people to take the initial step- to extend that hand of fellowship- there's always one who has been praying for us before we ourselves were saved- there's always the one who have reached out to us first...

So now can we not take it up?? Can we not be the one to put on the robe of a 'spiritual parent' , to look after our fellow brother and sister- to let them know that we are here for them?? what does it take?? I guess when we are talking about any work for Him, we are bound to know that the only requirement is that we are to have the eyes of our Lord- to see with the eyes of compassion and love- which is the only motivation to move us to reach out and care for another....

Just imagine if each of us would reach out and deliberately touch one or two persons for Christ for a start, we can indeed build one another up in no time at all- so what's with this hesitation, what's with this doubts or fear of sharing and investing our lives with others- Jesus said " If you love Me, feed My lambs!!"......

What's the fuss about responsibility and obligations- why not???... maybe put it in other way, if we can't be blessed, we be the the one who bring the blessings- bec it is indeed more blessed to give than to receive and also freely we receive, freely we give...

Jesus is PURE LOVE- Lord, let me know You more !! Lord , let me love You more !!!
