The Least of These...

Last night I read a post on Facebook from someone that I know who saw a man digging through trash cans looking for food. The thing that upset her more than seeing the man was that there were people standing nearby taking pictures and video of him and making fun of him. She lamented that she had no money with her to buy him something to eat so that for at least one day he would know that someone cared about him, and she was outraged that someone would mock him. She was right; any one of us could be in that position in a heartbeat.  Her post broke my heart for the man, but also for those making fun of his plight.  They desperately need a revelation of God's heartbeat for them. We all do.  When that happens people will reach out and lift up those in need rather than stepping over them, or kicking them when they are down. When we serve and love on those who can give nothing in return, we are serving and loving on Him.
