Too Close to IgnoreSample
Are you too weak to carry it?
Sometimes people are too weak to carry their own load, like Jesus was in the passage above. The soldiers told a man to carry Jesus' load, with him not knowing how it would impact his life. Today, Christians everywhere know of Simon of Cyrene.
Simon didn't ask for such notoriety, it came to him through an opportunity to serve. You may have that same kind of opportunity waiting in your future. Will you be present for it?
Some things to ponder:
1. Do you make yourself available when opportunities to help others arise?
2. If not, what attitudes need to be adjusted to open your heart and mind to seize those opportunities?

About this Plan
You've been there. Suddenly a person near you comes into focus that is obviously in need of help. Quickly your mind begins to rattle off your options - shift your gaze; turn around; walk away; ignore them. But what if they are too close to ignore? What then? That is what this little devotional is all about. What to do when someone in need is too close to ignore.
