Why do we fast, and you do not see it? (Isaiah 58:3)
When we think or talk about fasting, the first thing come to our mind is abstains from food, drinks, pleasure on anything. These are good ways to start. But the real fasting what God is expecting from us is that we should serve the needy. A simple help to the needy, like cleaning the dish or helping a kid to finish his/her homework or helping your parents in shopping etc. Even a 10 or 15 minutes of help a day is much better than any other fasting
During this 2012 lent period, think about the fasting outside the box. Like the way how God want us to do.
One question: If I have more money means shall I do these helps with my servants and eat...lol
ReplyDeleteThe real fasting is not only based on foods, but it based on any real good sacrifice.
