Today was a rainy, exhausting day for me, and I actually over snoozed. Once the rain stopped, I went out to meet with some of my brothers and sisters in the streets. You recognize the ones that are so fatigued and can’t seem to find their way. The individuals that are just hoping for a friendly conversation, someone who would remind them they are still a part of God’s plan. All day they are praying for something to eat and drink, a place to lay their head and someone to say hello in place of move alone.
As always, it is my great pleasure to stand in the gap to help others cross over and feel the embracement of a fellow sister. I have never felt the hopelessness of living on the streets, however I have been in need, felt rejected, dismissed and ignored. I feel their pain and suffer with them, feeling the distress as I watch others shun and ignore. It is my great pleasure to be that someone that others need. To be God’s vessel and mostly to follow the instructions of our guide. Above all things “love!”
Isaiah 58:10 If you give some of your own food to [feed] those who are hungry and to satisfy [the needs of] those who are humble, then your light will rise in the dark, and your darkness will become as bright as the noonday sun.
Matthew 25:34-40 “Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, my Father has blessed you! Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you took me into your home. I needed clothes, and you gave me something to wear. I was sick, and you took care of me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ “Then the people who have God’s approval will reply to him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you or see you thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you as a stranger and take you into our homes or see you in need of clothes and give you something to wear? When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ “The king will answer them, ‘I can guarantee this truth: Whatever you did for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did for me.’
