The Poor Dilemma

It is interesting that Jesus said

to take care of the poor,

to offer a drink to those who are thirsty,

to feed those who are hungry,

and to give your coat to someone who is cold

(your shirt too if needed).

 

 

Yet, these days,

when people are presented with the needs of others,

they pause,

as if they've been presented with some great dilemma

and respond with words like,

"Let me pray about it and ask God if I am supposed to help".

 

But it seems pretty simple;

if we have been made aware of a need,

then we're supposed to help.
Period.
