People like to do good things. It makes us feel good. But if God asks you to serve others, strangers who will never repay you, how far would you go? Last few days I heard an example that is inspiring.
Let me paint the scene. A homeless "bag lady" shits her pants. Its in the middle of a busy shopping mall area. Lots of people passing by. Shops open all around you. She is struggling to get her soiled pants off. She is "not all there". Would you stop to help? Would you talk to her, physically help her with her pants. The smell of shit all over the place. What if the woman started off nice, then got cranky at you!!! What if the shop keepers did not want to help you.
I heard a story of someone who served like this. You don't have to goto the slums of Calcutta to wipe the bums of the homeless. Just be prepared to do it in your own streets!
