You were created for good works
Proverbs 3:27-28
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
Say not unto your neighbour, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give: when thou hast it by thee

The verse above says we should not delay help to others. If a neighbor approaches you for help do not ask him/ her to come back later when you can help immediately. There is no need to pretend you cannot help immediately.

In Luke 6:38 Jesus encourages us to give because when we give we shall also be blessed.

The bible also says in Acts 20:35 that it is more blessed to give than to receive.

Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath ordained that we should walk in them

Another translation of the verse above says that….God made us to do good works.

Matthew 5:16 says
Let your life so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Good works involves not only giving your money but your time and sharing your other possessions and your christian faith with others.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Learn to share what you have with others

Prayer
Think about the words of this song

Give and it will come back to you
Good measure pressed down
Shaken together
Running over
Give and it will come back to you
When you give
Give to the Lord.
Amen
