I do care for you and for all those you love. I do use people to meet the needs in My body. However, I want to give you a word of caution. Ask for wisdom when someone asks you to help them. If you help people without My wisdom, quite often you will interfere with My best for them. My best for those who believe in Me is that they ask Me first when they are in need. I have promised to meet all believers' needs according to the riches of the glory of My Father through Me. My shed blood has purchased you the right to go boldly into My throne room of grace when you have need of anything.
When you jump immediately to meet someone's need, you may be standing in the way of someonelse who will receive a great blessing by giving. There is an order to giving that is written clearly in My Word. Paul cautioned Timothy to be careful to help widows when they were widows indeed who had no families to take care of them.
I know it is a hard thing for you to say "No," when someone asks you to bail them out of a financial crisis. However, sometimes when you say, "No, I cannot help you at this time," those in the family then will meet their responsbilities to help their own.
PHILIPPIANS 4:19; 1 TIMOTHY 5:3-4
