The Power to Care

Simple and effective.

These two words describe my messaging goal for this post and the subject that this post will speak to as seen in the title: The Power to CARE

There are only a few things that remain consistent between all humans of every time period, cultural background, ethnic history, personal life experience, individual life pursuits, and choices, and I find those things to be: life, death, and the pursuit to be loved.

Being LOVED means the expression of heartfelt CARE to who you are, what you do, or how you decide to define your life’s existence.

This CARE is what breeds life when there is death heavily looming; This CARE instills inspiration when despair is pressing down; This CARE is bringing health to those who can’t heal themselves.

This CARE is POWERFUL.

And WE get to choose whether or not and when we show this CARE to others.

The purest expression of CARE is when someone doesn’t ask for it, seemingly doesn’t “deserve it,” or they don’t even know they need it.

In the well-known Biblical parable about the Good Samaritan, the Samaritan took CARE of the whole person who lay beaten and nearly dead on the side of the road, the Samaritan went above and beyond what was expected; this is a clear reflection of the CARE of Christ, of which we ought to emulate.

We live in a world that constantly presents forms of pain and sorrow, caused by others or self-induced. Where there are times of life’s tragedies, there is the ever agonizing sense of longing; an absence of CARE.

What have you done or can do to show the CARE of Christ to those around you?

I have found that the solution to complicated problems is often realized when you focus on the (seemingly) insignificant source.

The Power to CARE is this source,

Simple and effective.
