Brothers keeper

Hi there.
Today I want to talk to you about being a brothers keeper.
What do i mean?
What does a brother keeper mean?
Did i just open up my bible and just radomly stick a finger in a page and there it was?

No,
So what is a brothers keeper?

A brothers keeper is, someone that goes the extra mile, and takes time to care about someone or something.
Sometimes,  it's so easy isn't to just pass off things, to get upset at the little things, the things that upset us, the things we take offense to, the things that just grate against us.
Sometimes it's like that, sometimes we get tired of things, and we're just plain tired of being worn down, and it's like that in church sometimes.
It's so easy to leave the church, to throw up our hands and say ''where were they when we needed it?''

A brothers keeper, gets along asside them and helps someone out, you just never know if that paid for cup of coffee is helping that lonely person, it's saying '' I care about you, enough to be my friend''

Sometimes it's in those hard times that we reach out and become friends,to someone that offers you some amazing advise, that you never know when it will come in use.
I used to be a closed up person, but I've worked on it, and becoming a chef makes you serve other people, it's a serving profession.
My brother matt, said never compare yourself to someone, and he's right, because you'll never be that person.
Yes some people might anoy you, and the thing is, you probably anoy people too, yes that on going thing, that never lets up, the teasing, the bullying, never give up, by giving up you're giving that person, permisson to take advantage over you.
Never leave, of course you have to if it's a vollent relationship.
But if you're called to stay, stay there, the light house is beaming it's light out just for you
I recently worked with some one, that wanted to work my public holiday shift,  and to swap, then offered to buy my car because it had low Ks on t, and then he was joking about going over to Germany to see our working friend, anything that he said would just anoy us,
He wanted everything, I liked how he came across, he was so determined poor chap, that he just said he didn't mind that if I said no to the swap of my shift, but in a way he did because he already made up his mind, that he was dertermined to have it.
I  am going to be strong, and say no to buying my car I might be blond, but i'm not to blond to think  if  he gets my car, I'm trapped to getting to work, , and no to working my shift.
Mum wants me to give him my shift, so that we have a family day together, so is my life hard?
Do I need a brothers keeper?
I would say I do, because i am tired, no matter how much sleep i get it seems  not much.
My life isn't hard at all, it's probably seems quite easy, I think about the people in hopsices, all around, and to my frined who has recently over come brain surgery, I asked God this week, why?
Where are my tests of faith?
My Dad said always pray for others, and if you think you need to increase your faith, pray for tests to come.
So my tests aren't health things, they are in everyday life, to be the light in the dark.
You are someone's brothers keeper, you might just not know it yet.
