"The Least Of These"
As I read from Matt 25:31-46, the question comes to my mind...... Who are " the least of these"? Might I be one of them, God? What does it mean "for I was hungry, naked, thirsty,in prison, lonely,........? I understand the obvious meaning, but what about the figurative meaning? What Am I hungry for???? What am I thirsty for???? What am I imprisoned with???? How am I in need of clothing???? God, i hear you telling me that I have all those needs too....... I am that person that my society calls a "beggar". I'm just able to hide it because of my financial situation in life. Who do I turn to to meet those needs? Do I seek Godly ways of meeting those needs or do I try to rely on myself to meet those needs? God help open my eyes to not just see these needs in others, but to respond in ways that bring others to the Kingdom. ALSO....... And equally as important, help me humble myself to see the needs in my own life and receive the gifts and help from "the Body of Christ".
God, as I go though this day, help me ..... A beggar... to be open to your leadership. That I may see you around me and the needs that are around me and within me. Help me respond to those needs in your Holy Name and receive the gifts that you intend for me giving you thanks " All the live long day"! In Christ's Holy Name I pray. AMEN
