I had noticed a day ago that there are only two people mentioned
in the Bible where a memorial was mentioned about them. The first
one was done in Judea secretly in a house by a woman who was a
harlot. Christ, seeing that her action proceeded from a hearty
and burning love to him, accepted her act as an extraordinary act
of kindness to him.   


He told his disciples. "She hath wrought a good work on
Me.....Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole
world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told
for a memorial of her."  


"There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a
centurion of the band called the Italian band, A devout man, and
one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to
the people, and prayed to God always...He saw in a vision an
angel who told him, "Thy prayers and thine alms
are come up for a memorial before God."  


The woman was a harlot who was unsaved when she "wrought a good
work upon Jesus." The Centurion was yet unsaved at this point,
but in efforts from a yearning, loving, "God fearing" heart was a
giving man. And was told by the angel sent from God that his
prayers and alms came before Him as a memorial.  The point
is that though these two people were yet unsaved, look at the
good work they wrought upon Jesus and the poor. God took notice
of them and the work of their hearts.  Their memorials are
alive today and will be forever. 


As born again believers, let the things we now do for others be
from loving hearts. Demonstrated in the act of selfless giving
for the rest of our lives, "as living sacrifices, holy acceptable
and pleasing in His sight."  This is the Thanksgiving and
holiday seasons. The time when people are not happy, they are
poor in spirit, suffering losses, and losses to come. Remember
them that need love, that need compassion, "making a difference."
Reach out to those who have lost hope. "Remember those that bound
as bound with them."   


Give yourself away, give words of Jesus Christ away to them,
lifting them up. Jackie Pullinger, a missionary to Hong Kong
said, "The principle of the Gospel is this. It gives life to the
receiver and death to the giver."   The more you give
the more you die, the more Christ lives the more you live. Then
you will really begin to live the resurrected life. There is no
other way. Make a difference in lives by a word of hope and
loving acts of kindness. Or in happy deeds and your life will
come up as a memorial before God now and forever.  


"I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all;
but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess."
~Martin Luther
