7.20.18 – “Vance Havner called them “the Saints
of the Second Mile!” Who was he talking about? Those believers who go above and
beyond the call of duty; who do far more for JESUS than they have to just
because they love HIM so! We are glad to do more than our duty for those we
love here below, how much more for the ONE who died that we might live?” S. E. Trail
My prayer for you today is for you to become
a “Second Mile Saint!”
Matthew
5:44 But I
say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them
that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
“A big, burly man visited the pastor's
home and asked to see the minister's wife, a woman well known for her
charitable impulses. "Madam," he said in a broken voice, "I wish
to draw your attention to the terrible plight of a poor family in this
district. The father is dead, the mother is too ill to work, and the nine
children are starving. They are about to be turned into the cold, empty streets
unless someone pays their rent, which amounts to $400." "How
terrible!" exclaimed the preacher's wife. "May I ask who you
are?" The sympathetic visitor applied his handkerchief to his eyes.
"I'm the landlord," he sobbed.”
