yet he had the courage to still attend to him.
>Not the issue of I had done my part but he made sure that he sent the victim to hospital (inn).
>3 unbudgeted cost; unexpected expenses may occur out of goodness. Like the good samaritan poured oil and wine on the victim wound, added cash and promised to refund in case extra cost incurred by the innkeeper.
4 Attention :
>Always accessible, an open door says, I'm ready to hear what you want to say and share your concern.
>Some times we feel, it is the rich that can do so,no,every body can do it, remember, it is the Holy spirit enabling us and therefore, God just want us to initiate and He will make provision available to us for His glory.
