This Scripture explains why life is hard sometimes and those living in poverty often struggle more so than others. Jesus reversed the affects of this of this curse through His death and resurrection but the scales of justice won't be fully balanced until His return. In the meantime though, we are to be His administers of this justice. So how can we do this?
First by praying for those all over the world who live in poverty and are homeless. I pray that Dad allows this post to reach many to open up eyes and hearts to those in poverty and motivate hands and feet to do something about what is seen.
Globally, you can google places like Bring Love In out of Ethiopia and explore the different ways you can assist those living in extreme poverty.
Locally, the next time you see a homeless person you can offer them a bottle of water, food and/or even a $5 gift card to a restaurant so they can legitimately go in and relax sometimes which is particularly welcome in extreme hot or cold weather. You can offer up anything else Dad may lead you to as well and ask to pray with and for them which is rarely turned down. I would invite you to have some of these items in your vehicle with you regularly so to be able to distribute when encountering a homeless brother or sister and ask Dad to help you start doing it for no other reason than to remind them that He loves them and so do we.
If after reading this you begin to see more those impoverished and are led to respond to what you see, please share here to encourage others to do the same so that Dad can begin and continue to bless both us and others even more deeply:-)
