Reach Out

   Look around, My child. Do you not see the hurting and the needy all around you? Do you not see those in want every place you go? Ask Me for eyes to see. Ask Me for ears to hear their cries. Ask Me for a heart to help them, for this is what I desire you would do.

   I desire My children would spend the rest of their time on earth reaching out to those in need.

   As I walked among you on the earth, the needy and the hurting were those I ministered to the most, yet so many of My churches do so little for them.

   So many of My churches do not know My heart, and do not imitate Me. They do not feed the hungry, clothe the naked and visit the bound. 

   How can you imitate Me when you do not these things I did, and that I spoke of?

• 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
• 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
