How Does Your City View the Homeless?
What is the condition of your city? What I mean by this is how is it's acceptance of the homeless and the poor? Often we find some American Cities with a negative attitude toward the homeless and the poor. Laws regarding outdoor feeding programs to possess and purchase permits each time they serve the homeless a meal, panhandling laws and more. First we need to remember we live in America...where we believe all men are created equal but to be treated equal. This morning I saw a homeless man downtown before anyone was out looking for leftover tobacco in the streets and on the sidewalks from the clubs activities from the night before. This was on a Sunday Morning when no one was around. Today I poured out my heart with the Cities homeless ...assuring them of the Grace of God and His compassions. Gods love is for the poor and the way we treat them is very important. For the Lord is the creator of us all. We must also keep our Faith in a part of the solution and approach to our cities homeless. We need leadership in our city that has compassion for the poor and sees them as a part of the community and not a problem to our community. For it is the Poor that remind us to keep our hearts motivated in our compassion and caring in our community. A community without the poor can hurt our Faith , Our Compassion and acts of Faith. Therefore let us remember that our Highest and most Nobel calling is to our Christian Faith and its founder in Heaven who watches over us all. Without the poor our Faith is inactive. We are in a community where our Faith and Compassion is made for our fellow citizens and the homeless. There is a reason we all live together in a community. As we approach the Holiday season let us allow the love of God to motivate our compassion and commitment to all his children in our city ...when we see the homeless let compassion compel us and not distance ourselves from Gods inheritance...for not all who wander are lost. Let us care for those who live on the streets, railroads, abandoned buildings, concrete slabs, and the wooded areas of our community. And may we remember that we all have a common bond ....the Lord is the Maker of us All.
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. II Corinthians 8:9
May this Holiday Season give Hope to the Homeless and help us to see the Greatness of the Grace of God.
