How Can We Show Grace to Those in Need?

How do you allow God to use you to help others in their times of need?

For Teresita Molina, it is as simple as letting her neighbors stay in her house during a storm.

In October and November 2024, the Philippines experienced strong typhoons that destroyed many homes and caused power outages. Super Typhoon Pepito hit the area of Bagamanoc, Catanduanes, and the residents living in the coastal areas of Barangay Bagatabao were greatly affected.

Among them were Ruby Molina and Aida Calderon, whose houses were completely washed away by nearly two-story-high waves.

Ruby recalled, “All I could do at that time was pray to God that no one would get hurt.” By God’s grace, although their house was destroyed, they were safe.

Teresita, Aida’s neighbor and friend, said, “Helping others is important. If you have the ability to help, do so.”

She allowed Aida and some other neighbors to stay at her house after Aida’s house was completely washed away by strong waves. Teresita’s kindness made Aida feel cared for and loved when she didn’t know what to do.

The spirit of bayanihan continued when Operation Blessing extended their help and provided people with sleeping mats, blankets, and solar-powered lights while they waited for their electricity to be restored.

“What Operation Blessing gave us was very useful,” Aida said.

What Teresita and Operation Blessing have shown reflects what is written in Hebrews 13:16:

“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”
