Talk to the Hand
There is far too much apathy in the world today and not enough love and concern for our fellowman. If you’re in a hurry and cut someone off in traffic, there’s not even a thought about the possibility of someone getting hurt or that you might be putting someone in danger. And who cares if you take the last muffin at the bakery that the little girl in line behind you wanted? Too many people are out for “number one” with little or no regard for how their choices and decisions will affect others. If you try to say anything, you may hear an immediate, “Talk to the hand,” or “tell someone who cares.” In other words, they want you to know that whatever comes out of your mouth will fall on deaf ears. The Bible tells us in Philippines 2:3, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves.” There is one person that you can always count on to care, and that person is Jesus! He not only cares but He loves you more than you could possibly imagine. Best of all, He has the power to change lives. He can fill your heart with so much love for others that you wouldn't dream of being indifferent or apathetic toward anyone! All throughout the Bible we are told to love, love, love our fellowman. Instead of telling someone, “Talk to the hand,” refrain and talk to Jesus first! Text: Revelation 3:16, Romans 12:9-13, 1 John 3:17-18, Galatians 6:9

Bible Texts:
Revelation 3:16 NKJV - "So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 

Romans 12:9-13 NKJV - Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 

1 John 3:17-18 NKJV - But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 

Galatians 6:9 NKJV - And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
