Galatians 6:10 (NIV)

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers ( the household of faith.) [KJV].

It is my strong believe that when we are spared from a disaster, it is so that we can minister to the need of those who are suffering.  This is the "opportunity" of which Paul is speaking in Galatians. In New York, there was a woman who had a small burner that worked after the disaster of Hurricane Sandy leveled many houses and left millions of people without power.  This certain woman made soup from what she had in her home and served her neighbors until the soup ran out. She had the " opportunity" and used it to serve the needs of others.

In the Gospel according to John, the sixth Chapter, there is a story of the feeding of the five thousand with a young boy's lunch of 5 barley loaves and two fish, (verse 9). This boy had the "opportunity" to supply the need of others and he gave what he had.  

Doing good to others, is preaching the Gospel to the poor without using words. The nature of GOD is giving, compassion, kindness, and love; when we show these characteristics, we are showing the nature of GOD. It is His way to give and we, who love Him and desire to be like Him, LIVE 2 GIVE.
