Acts 3
 
A poor lame beggar asks for money from the Apostles.
 
Peter offers him something better. He offers him new life in Jesus Christ.
 
In my own life, I have a tendency to ask for the wrong things, when what I should be reaching out to God for is true life in Jesus. 
 
I often want my physical circumstances to be improved. I can make ministry about meeting physical, financial emotional needs.
 
When I minister to others, this is a good reminder that I can rely on the many resources at my disposal to help people. That's all well and good. But the most important thing I can offer anyone is Jesus Christ. He brings the true help. He has the power to change circumstances. I can alleviate pain for a moment. Jesus has the power to go to the source. 
 
We can focus too often on the resources available to us to bless and help people. A very good thing, indeed, but the most important thing is to give people Jesus.
