We look through the lens of hope and think in terms of why I can do to help. I can’t find a passage that says, “Blessed are those that find others to blame, Blessed are those that wish they could help, Blessed are those that want to help” so I am helping.
We still believe one of the most powerful phrases in Scripture is “I Am” - this was not only how God named himself for Moses, it is the one phrase that changes everything. We don’t say: I am going to, One day I will help, Someone else should do something.
We say, “I am helping” and state what we are doing. Now. Now is all of the time we can be certain to experience. I often remember my favorite Aunt. She was in good health, young and went for annual check-ups. She dropped dead of a heart attack. She was young and the attack came without warning. I often think of my close friend, Mike. He was a computer programer. He came home from his morning jog and dropped dead while taking off his jogging suit. The only time we are certain to experience is this moment.
