Something to think about.

Today I was finishing up Galatians and I came across this passage in chapter 6 verse 10:

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

I don't think I've ever paid that much attention to this verse before. It really took me by surprise.

Don't we [Christians] often do the opposite? We focus so much on helping the needy and doing good to those who aren't believes in Christ because we know it is a good witness and a way for them to see Christ in us. But man, God says to do good especially to those who are within the family of God. Hmmm.. that's something to think about! We need to be helping each other out first and foremost, but also doing good to those who really need to know Him.

I get it.. but I think as Christians, we really miss out on this a lot.
