Word on the Way is a passage sent out daily by Way.FM

Hebrews 13:16 And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.

The goodness in this text is self evident. Only a very heartless and selfish person would not want to make the world better. Even though we choose to do this daily. So, are we heartless and selfish?... well... yes, actually. We are very selfish. The only cure for this is Jesus. The needy are everywhere - in our churches, neighborhoods, cities, workplaces, homes, etc. We are all needy. We need Jesus, because we are sinful, selfish, broken, imperfect, etc. However you want to describe it, it's real. Most of us want to do something about the brokenness in the world; but we all forget.

What makes us not forget? Well, a daily reminder of what Jesus has done for you. A daily walk with the creator of the universe, our savior, would draw us closer to Jesus compelling us to never forget His goodness while also redeeming us in order to go out and be good, to share, and to sacrifice ourselves to our God. Don't you want to please the God who loves you so much He gave everything to love you?
