can you even imagine having to live in such a shelter?
This is what it means to have nothing.
Jesus said that we are to give to the poor. One day that could be me or you. We do not know what a day may bring or some catastrophe inflicted upon our system or savings. My heart goes out to these poor.
I could have been just like them but for the grace of God.
We don't get to choose to whom we are born or what conditions our parents may be in..
That is why we have an abundance. We are to help others in need out of our abundance we have been given and blessed with by God.
I feel for people living in very tough conditions and wondering where their next bite to eat will come from..
One thing I will do is have my daughter to donate a large sum of my estate to the local Rescue shelter to help those in need.
My Pastor once said that a "need seen is an assignemnt given". God has us see things that open our eyes and touch our hearts and empathy. Jesus said for those who have much to give to those who have little..
HE was very aware of poverty. Its been awhile since I preached at the City Gospel Mission in downtown Cincinnati but I can still see those people, men, women, children, watching and listening. All they wanted was a warm place to stay and bed to sleep in and someting to eat.. Did ya know nice new SOCKS are always in demand at these shelters? I get that..
I am eternally grateful that I was spared from becoming one who had nothing except the rags on my body..
We have so very much to be grateful and Thankful to GOD for that we take for granted and mistakenly t hink that it was because of our genius and selfdoing that we have had successes in abundance.
We could have been born with about 25 IQ points lower.. Or in a ghetto.
I think I'll call the director in downtown and see what he needs for this season.. I can help.. God has touched my heart..
