“And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondsman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing” (Deuteronomy 24:22).
We’ve often heard or said, “But by the grace of God there go I.” Remembering what your life was like before you were freed from the bondage of sin should be reason enough to help the needy. Maybe you weren’t homeless or hungry, but your greatest need was for a Savior. What if you faced all those needs and no one reached out to you? Where would you be today? I believe the saddest words ever printed in the Bible are, “no man cared for my soul.” (Psalm 142:4b) Look around your community. Somebody needs you to care.
