Place yourself empathically in another person shoes today. Can you see yourself comforting someone who just experienced a loss? Can you picture yourself caring for your children as a single parent? Can you see yourself as a homeless person living underneath a bridge?
We may not be able to save the world but we can find ways in our local community to touch a life through acts of kindness, support, and prayer.
1 Peter 4:7 says Be quick to give a meal to the hungry, a bed to the homeless—cheerfully. Be generous with the different things God gave you, passing them around so all get in on it: if words, let it be God’s words; if help, let it be God’s hearty help. That way, God’s bright presence will be evident in everything through Jesus.
