Jesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. Matthew 19:21-22 ESV.
Dear Lord Jesus the poor will always be in your heart for they are marginalized and conveniently overlooked by the mainstream. Open my eyes Lord to see the poverty that is around me, and to stop for anyone who needs a touch from you. May I count my blessings and be grateful for your provision, protection, peace and abiding presence. In Jesus' merciful name I pray and give thanks.
