Jesus says: “Anything you did for one of the least important of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” ~ Matthew 25:40b (NIRV)
Father,
THANKS: Thank you for making a way for me to be included in your family. Apart from your intervention I don't have a chance.
REGRETS: I'm sorry that I have not caught your enthusiasm for the "least" of people. Now that my place in the family is secure, I've become lazy about welcoming others of less status. I'm too worried that having them around will affect my reputation.
INTERCESSION: Speak into my life until I start to think like you. Give me enthusiasm for serving orphans, widows, the homeless, and prisoners. These people are as dear to you as my mother is to me.
PURPOSE: There is no way to serve you without serving them. That's my goal.
Amen.
