How many of you have visited Hong Kong or a relative far away? How did you get there? The most likely option is by plane, is it not? How many of you have gone on a family outing to a nearby city, such as Niagara to see the falls? How did you get there? The most likely option is by car, is it not? How many of you have decided to grab lunch at a nearby restaurant with a friend during school? How did you get there? The most likely option is by walking, is it not?
"Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing ever disease and sickness." [Matthew 9:35]
When I had a brother who was in need, my heart went out to him. I knew he needed a sister with him, but I had a really busy week and no time at all. But God placed this burden on my heart and I knew that just by praying wouldn't mean anything compared to seeing him face to face. The next day, I was texting him as usual, and told him I was going to the studio to break, when in reality, I traveled an hour by subway, and half an hour by bus, switching twice in order to reach this brother in need.
God came down from Heaven to Earth to save us. We have planes, cars, and even feet to bring us to our destination. When a brother or sister is in need, do you not go to them if they need comfort? No distance is ever too far. Jesus Christ went the extra mile to leave his throne in Heaven behind to come to Earth, yet when a friend is in need down the street, we say we can't visit them? When we do things in the name of love, we can go any distance. Jesus did that. Why can't we?

What God gave us, He wants us to share.
