Looking around me I see so much hurt, so much hunger, so much poverty and so many people reaching out for just a little bit of help and I cannot but feel the urgency to address their immediate needs. However, what I have learned during my time in India is that there is a difference to responding to the need and acting on the calling.
There are always going to be people who have needs, spiritual, emotional as well as physical and God would not always expect me to be the one to address their needs. If I were to react to their needs, I would do it out of myself, trying to help them with whatever I have to give, but if I were to react in those special situations to which God has called me for I would give out of His overflow, I would give out of a place where the source never runs dry, out of a place of no judgement, a place of obedience.
