Every time I fail to do act of goodness that is in my power to do, I fumble an important ball. And that particular ball is never thrown again. If I don't obey God's promptings to help someone, I miss an opportunity to let God nourish my soul. If I don't help someone, will someone else? Maybe. Maybe not.
It may well be that the vast majority of unmet needs that bring sadness, heartache, loneliness and despair into human lives are merely the flip sides of good deeds left undone. Think about good deeds; think about the incredible power of good deeds; think about the tragedy of our failure to do them. When it comes to good deeds, God and others are counting on us. If it is in our power to do good, we had better do it.
