Humble Servant of All
So many are facing homelessness and are going through tough times. We need to pray that the church (individuals in the body of Christ) will come together and fulfill the Word commanded us to love each other in practical service. The early church kept their homes open for those who lost theirs because of persecution and misfortune. They sold land and material goods to meet the needs around them. May we see a great revival in love.
1 John 3:16-18 - Love of God
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 'And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'

Matthew 5:13-16 - More words from Jesus

"Nor do men light a lamp, and put it under the peck-measure, but on the lampstand; and it gives light to all who are in the house. "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
