What does the phrase "least of these" mean? It does not mean that someone is less valuable than others. On the contrary, all humans have the same inherent worth or value in the eyes of our Father. They are the socially, psychologically or economically disadvantaged, such as the sick, the poor, the mentally and physically disabled or the homeless our seniors, widows and our Veterans. When we reach out to the least of these we reach out to Jesus. "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me"
Lord, we are not able to see each other’s heart or the challenges each of us face, so Father, teach us how to be more caring of others needs. Lord, help us lighten the burdens of others, let us be an instrument of Your love through the blessings You have given us. Where there is hate, let us bring love, where there is pain let us give comfort. Lord, let us bring inspiration and hope to those in despair. Father, let us be the beacon of light that leads the lost to You as You continue to order our steps in Your will. Lord, let us never look down on anyone for any reason but think lowly of ourselves. Father, please hear the least of us when we cry out for help and deliver us out of our troubles. Lord, we know You are near the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in Spirit, thank You in Jesus name, Amen
