DEUTERONOMY 10:18-19 (ABP)
God makes sure that orphans and widows are treated justly. He shows his love for the foreigners who live among you by giving them food and clothing. In like manner, you should also demonstrate love toward the foreigners.
MATTHEW 25:35 (MSG)
Jesus: "I was homeless and you gave me a room."
SUMMARY SENTENCE
We should act in partnership with God, who is predisposed to love the poor and marginalized.
PRAYER
Compassionate God, thank you for looking kindly on me, a sinner saved by your grace. Forgive me for my failure to embrace your attitude toward the undeserving around me. Give me a heart for the marginalized and wisdom for the best ways to demonstrate your love for them. I'm going to partner with you as you extend compassion and justice to those who are ignored by everyone else. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
