Words of Wisdom Wednesday - Mother Teresa
795 million
people in the world are starving today. You might think, Well, I can't give food to all
those people, and just avoid
feeding people altogether. Frankly, it's quite easy to do. But if you read
Mother Teresa's quote, you don't have to feed a hundred people; just feed one
person. The next time you see someone in need, take the time to "just feed
one." The deeper meaning of this is not just feeding the hungry; it's
helping the needy. This doesn't necessarily have to mean the homeless guy on
the corner wearing rags, it could mean the girl eating lunch all by herself at
school. People in need of food, clothes...Jesus. Take the time today to
"just feed one," whether that be giving food to the homeless or
talking to the lonely or sharing the gospel to the spiritually hungry.
Matthew
25:34-40 NIV:
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”
