" One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer-- at three in the
afternoon. Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, 'Look at us!' So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said, 'Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk'. "
As I read this passage of scripture last night the Lord spoke to me about giving. So often I feel like I have nothing to give others. After reading this last night I discovered that I was wrong. I realized that I have everything to give others. I have Jesus. Peter and John didn't have silver or gold to give the beggar, they had Jesus. They gave the man what they had, and what they had was all he needed. This passage challenges me to share Jesus with others in every situation and every circumstance. Jesus is all anyone needs in this world. Jesus is the answer to all of our problems. I challenge you to share Jesus with others. Whether its through your speech, through your actions, through prayer. Give others Jesus.
