JESUS FOLLOWERS ARE TO CARE FOR EACH OTHER

It is natural for us to choose whom we will reach out to, but believers are not allowed to be selective with our compassion.  Jesus, mingled with all people, mostly the poor and undesirables.  So for those Believers that feel they are socially acceptable because they live better than the poor or more educated, news flesh Jesus, does not care about our earthly status, He cares about His temple "our hearts."  When we develop Christ-like character we come out of our smug existence;  which allows us to mingle with our needy brothers and sisters, so they can see the light of Jesus shine through us.

When we do for those in need, we do for Christ.  "Matthew25:37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?"  When we see those in need we are looking at Jesus and when we help them, we help Him.

Father, we know we are to care for each other, so fill us with love and compassion for all people; so we will do unto others, as we have them do unto to us.  Lord, let those who You have blessed, get off their smug high horses and bless others; because to whom much is given, much is required.  Lord, restore unity, harmony, and love to our people and this hateful world; so we can work together, no matter the race, gender, creed, or beliefs, to build up Your Kingdom and each other.  Father, fill us with the Holy Spirit so we will obey Your Word, and not look down on what society, considers undesirables; and let us not think too highly of ourselves, putting others needs ahead of our own needs. Father, we pray special blessings for those who are being sold into to slavery in Lybia and around the world; Lord, bless those that have no shelter and touch the hearts of those that can help, with love, kindness, and understanding.  Lord, You said that generous people will be blessed, so give us all a generous heart for our brothers and sisters in need, in Jesus name, Amen
