Love’s Work – Entry 47: 05-19-10

I was reading through my Psalms/Proverbs plan today and stopped on Proverbs 28:27, “He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, 
but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses.” That’s the kind of advice that can be really is tough to swallow. Honestly, how many of us haven’t ignored a homeless person at one point in our lives? There are many places in the Bible where we are told to help out those in need. I don’t want to guilt trip you with this. However, it is vitally important that we not ignore things like this.

So, this week why don’t you try to find a few people that really need your help and help them out. Give a homeless person some money, or better yet, take them out to eat somewhere and talk to them. That’s love.
