"Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but for the interests of others." Phil. 2:4
The apostle Paul was in no way encouraging any brother or sister in the Lord to become meddlesome in the affairs of others.
But he surely was asking each of us to consider what we could have one for another that would have profited him or her and made their day more blessed.
Whose soul has been lifted and life made a little better because of the genuine interest shown by you for them?
It may take a moment of time to place that call, write that note, or perhaps drop in for that cup of coffee,but if it results in someone's burdened being lifted or heart encouraged, it will be well worth the time and effort.
We do have a word from the Bible concerning this that we call the Golden Rule; "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
It really works.
Try it and see.
