Benediction ~ Help Those in Need

Greetings Dear Reader, 

“May the work of your hands help those in need.”   It is never enough for me to avoid being greedy or selfish.  What I do must be intentionally helpful to others in need.  If I examine my process, I can evaluate my intent and identify where I can be further intentional. 

If I examine my writing process, I should be able to identify how it helps others.  My work must serve others.  First, I examine this process of my blog.  The primary purpose of the writing is to measure my journey each day for my success and failure in following Christ.  I share it on my website so I can perhaps benefit you, Dear Reader.   I have been accused of doing this to “vent my spleen” or “point out how good I am”.   Neither one is my intent.  I share this part of my journey to allow others to learn where I have learned.  As I increase my transparency, perhaps others can avoid my errors or benefit from my successes.  

As to my novels and devotionals, there are a few ways in which I long to help those in need.   The first is to entertain and teach.  I am hoping the stories lead you to understanding and loving the Father more deeply.  As I earn money from my writing, I use my income to live and to be generous to others.  From time to time I am impressed to give books to those who I believe will benefit from it. 

The work of my hands must help those in need.  It is a primary way I can show my love of the Father and the love I carry for my fellow humans.  There are so many ways in which we can be generous to others if we choose to do so.  

The beauty of this part of a good word is this; if we are generous with what we create, we will not lack.  If we are good to others, the Father will supply all of our needs.  The cycle is a beautiful one.  I work with all my heart as an act of worship.  The Father blesses my work.  I am allowed to share the blessings with others who have need.  The Father then blesses me again for loving those in need.  This is my heart, to be a blessing to others. 

Whenever we receive something good, it is a gift from the Father.  It obligates us to pass on the blessing to others.  I want to always be ahead in this, Dear Reader.  I want to find new ways to be kind and generous.  I desire for others to receive the benediction, the good words of the Father showing his love to others through the work of my hands.  I guess as a writer it is the work of my fingers.  

Wishing you joy in the journey, 

Aramis Thorn

Every human story is part of the great story that leads to the Father getting everything back to Good.
