When I volunteered at a local shelter last year, I met a man named David. He’d lost everything, his home, family, and hope. As we talked, I realized how often I take my blessings for granted.
David’s story reminded me of Jesus’ words about serving the least of these. Loving the vulnerable isn’t optional; it’s central to our faith. It’s easy to give out of abundance, but true love means sacrificing time, resources, and comfort to meet the needs of others.
Every time I see someone struggling, I think of David. And I pray to see them as Jesus does.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to love and serve others as You have loved me. Open my eyes to the needs around me and give me a heart of compassion. I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.
