Feed the hungry, and
help those in trouble. Then your light
will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright
as the noon. Isaiah 58:10
The Christmas season, in particular, presents many
opportunities to help out those who are less fortunate or in need. I am at a point in my life where I honestly
have everything that I could possibly want or need and feel compassion for
those who are really hurting or in need.
God promises that those who help the poor will be rewarded,
both in this life and the next. God has compassion for the poor and the needy,
so as followers of God, we too must also be compassionate for them.
Compassion means more than just giving some money and hoping
that people are taken care of. I
honestly believe it means giving more of yourself-volunteering and taking the
time to take care of people who are in need; our brothers and sisters.
