A Lesson in Abundance
All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.—Luke 21:4 (NIV)
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.—Proverbs 3:3 (NIV)
When you are tempted to pass negative judgment on someone who is different from you, take a moment and pray. Try to shift your perspective to a lens of love and compassion. Ask God to help you see Christ in them.
Help me, Father, to be kind and helpful to strangers.
