Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book as several other books that Ms. Anderson or (PJ) has written in the past is another true story. It discusses how PJ and others like her have become individuals that think about others before they think about their selves. In a sense this is wearing your “Heart on your sleeve.” Living like this causes an individual to live other roles as, hero, heroin, and yes if they aren’t strong enough they can become a victim to others. Those that believe in the Bible know that it teaches us some great concepts that should be followed even today. I’m sharing many of these below with you so that you can get an understanding of what the Bible teaches on this topic. Here are just ten verses on the topic. Do for others what you want them to do for you. This is the teaching of the laws of Moses in a nutshell.”(Mat 7:12 TLB) Jesus replied, "The one that says, ´Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only God. And you must love him with all your heart and soul and mind and strength.(Mark 12:29-31 TLB) The second is: You must love others as much as yourself. No other commandments are greater than these."(Luke 9:48 TLB) And Jesus said to them, Anyone who takes care of a little child like this is caring for me! And whoever cares for me is caring for God who sent me. Your care for others is the measure of your greatness."(Acts 9:36 TLB) In the city of Joppa there was a woman named Dorcas (“Gazelle"), a believer who was always doing kind things for others, especially for the poor. This woman Dorcas became very ill and was dying. Her neighbors, friends, and family wept for her. When Peter heard of the illness of this wonderful woman, he asked the mourners to leave. He prayed over her and when he asked her to rise up she was able to do so under her own accord. When this happened, Peter presenter her back to those who mourned for her.(Eph. 5:2 TLB) Be full of love for others, following the example of Christ who loved you and gave himself to God as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, for Christ´s love for you was like sweet perfume to him.(Col 1:9 TLB) So ever since we first heard about you we have kept on praying and asking God to help you understand what he wants you to do; asking him to make you wise about spiritual things;(Col 1:10 TLB) ...asking that the way you live will always please the Lord and honor him, so that you will always be doing good, kind things for others, while all the time you are learning to know God better and better.(Titus 2:14 TLB) He (Jesus) died under God´s judgment against our sins so that he could rescue us from constant falling into sin and make us his very own people, with cleansed hearts and real enthusiasm for doing kind things for others.(Jude 1:23 TLB) Save some by snatching them as from the very flames of hell itself. And as for others, help them to find the Lord by being kind to them, but be careful that you yourselves aren´t pulled along into their sins. Hate every trace of their sin while being merciful to them as sinners. Do to her as she has done to you, and more--give double penalty for all her evil deeds. She brewed many a cup of woe for others--give twice as much to her.(Rev 18:6 TLB) So as you can see from the above Bible verses there are many guidelines for helping others outlined and being a Christian the Bible is an awesome book of life. There are many more verses covering this topic of helping others. These I’m going to leave for the reader to explore further. There are many thoughtful word shared from experience and time written in this book. I hope that you enjoy what you read.
