Huwag mong ipagkait ang mabuti sa kanila kung kanino ito nararapat, kapag nasa kapangyarihan ng iyong kamay na gawin ito. Huwag mong sabihin sa iyong kapwa, Pumunta ka na, at dumating muli, and tomorrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee (Kawikaan 3:27-28)
When someone comes to you and asks you a favor or a good, at an inconvenient time, you should give the person what it’s asking for. If you have the good, then don’t say to the person to come back the next day or at a more convenient time. But give what the person needs.
Hindi mo alam, if there will be a tomorrow. Bukod diyan, you don’t know the need of the person.
Your life belongs to Jesus, and He has appointed you to be His representative. He shall direct people to you, who have a need. You are the only one, sa sandaling iyon, who can help that person.
Don’t say to the person to come back tomorrow, nor direct the person to the church or a church service. Instead give the person what (s)he is asking for. If it’s a bread, a pack of sugar, or another good, or if the person needs prayer, pagpapagaling, payo, atbp., give it and don’t hold back.
Jesus has given you everything you need, to help this person. You have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in high places, not to keep it all to yourself, but to distribute it to others. That’s what the Great Commission is all about.
