Who in your life is living in poverty? Who in your church is unwanted? Who in your community is unloved?
Now what can YOU do about it?
James 2:14-16 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
WORD!This is so true…
Oh my word…I just blogged this am about something that is related to this.
I felt unwanted at my old church…Praise the Lord I have since found a church where it's felt like home from the first day. But lately I have felt unwanted by the group of people that I used to be part of…bible study…the thing is…two of those ladies were (in my mind and heart) the closest, most intimate friends…
I hope and pray I never make anyone feel unwanted…like not belonging.
You hit the nail right on the head Miss…:-)
I've felt all of the above! I'm glad you have posted this to show others that there is hope, and appreciate how far they have come. Thank you for always being real Bianca 🙂 I enjoy every time you blog 🙂
there was a season in my life when i lived in poverty. it went to the point where me and my son were sleeping off of people's couches coz i had no job and couldn't afford anything.i LITERALLY had to pray and trust God for everything we needed and wanted. (from a couch to a place to live, to a job, to receiving free cars, wearing hand me down clothes, to my son getting a wii, a ds, etc). prayer and people being a channel of blessing in my life is what got me through that rough time.
it was such a painful time in my life…especially because i grew up in a political family back in my country and we were rich. i knew it was going to be hard when God called me to move back here.
God used that time to break me…off of the love of money. off of self sufficiency. He taught me how to be content…even if i had no money to put food on the table for that day. it seemed like there was no hope during that time… and yet God provided a way out. He showed me that there is HOPE in Him even if there seems to be no hope in a present circumstance.
that is why i like involving myself in community outreach projects. we go to skid row and hand out food to the homeless. we go to convalescent homes and watch basketball games with the elderly. helping orphans get ready for prom to make them feel beautiful.
i do these things coz I'VE BEEN THERE. and i know how it feels like to have no hope… and i want to be able to be there to show them that Hope can be theirs if they just believe.
I love love love this! Thanks for the reminder Bianca. I would say that the poverty of being unloved or unwanted is deeper than hunger pains in your belly. I can speak from personal experience of how that kind of emptiness, loneliness, and the feelings of wondering why you even exist, can empty you of all value. Because I have walked in those shoes, and then been invited to walk with Christ into an existence of belonging…I now have a passion to help others find new shoes….ones that walk into LOVE, BELONGING, and PURPOSE.
Such a wonderful reminder! Love this.
Funny you should post about this, I've been praying about starting a new ministry at church for the shut ins…some one to call on them via phone or in person.
Yes, there is the food ministry, someone is always willing to bring a dish over, this is a physical need, this is wonderful, being able to cook for this person/family…
What about the Psychosocial need? This needs to be met as well.
When a person becomes isolated from their normal routine for whatever reason, depression can and does set in, sometimes rather quickly, and often times takes a long while to get out of. The person/family may know that people are thinking of them, praying for them, but when the calls or visits don't come..depression sets in and causes a mire of things to happen.
So, for all of you prayer warriors out there, Please join me in lifting this up in prayer, This has been on my heart heavily.
