Everyone gets tagged by these people sooner or later...especially me. LOL

They are called "Users": a person who uses a friend or aquaintance solely for the purposes of gaining a type of advantage;

These people hardly ever show gratitude for your help. Also, when the roles are reversed and you need this particular person for something, they are NOWHERE to be found.

But this is not a new phenomenon. Users have always existed, and Christ dealt with them as well.

Luke 17:11-19 states:

On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" When he saw them he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were made clean. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus asked, "Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" Then he said to him, "Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well."


Christ healed an entire group of sick people, yet only ONE of them actually turned around to tell him, "Thank You."

So do not feel bad if you have found yourself the victim of a user, because after all, God has contended with them too over the years.:-)
