We do need each other. I think about how often we go on mission trips to be the helpers, but return having been helped more than we helped. God is good!

Beautiful words Lisa! 🙂

Good point, June: open our eyes not only to the outward conditions, but the inward ones as well. We definitely need God’s vision and heart for that. Thanks for sharing this.

Isn’t Katie amazing? I read that book a few months ago myself, and was awed at how open she is in surrendering her life to God in however he chooses to use her. Her level of sacrifice is astounding.

That’s a beautiful prayer, Dianna. I’m thankful the Lord can use wherever he has us if we’ll have that kind of open heart. Thanks for being such a great example of someone always seeking to love God and love others.

True. Those who have “been there” are the ones who can empathize the most. And even when we can’t fully understand, if we’ll listen to the ones who are being personally affected, we will learn better what help to give.

Thanks, Ginger. I’m thankful we have forums where we can hear each other’s perspectives. I always benefit when I hear how others are following God.

That’s right, Floyd. Christ modeled how to be compassionate not only in word but also in deed. A tough act to follow. 🙂 But nonetheless, he is our perfect model.

Those who are poor in material things need us, and in turn they help us to be poor, humble, of heart. I love the point Ceil made, the poor are not always who we think they are. So true! If we truly wish to be the hands and feet of Jesus, we need to open our eyes to the conditions of the heart, not just the living conditions. Have a blessed week!
