*LoveIs* - 6.10.12
I suppose it has been about a month since I have given an
official update to the happenings of *LoveIs*, so I am happy to report that
people are still getting fed both physically and spiritually.
What’s up with the lack of details you may be asking? Well
that is just something I am dealing with in my own thoughts as I never want to
relay information and have it come off as flashy, prideful or what-have-you as
all things that are accomplished are by God alone (and He knows what all is
being done). My want is solely for His love to be shared and to be able to continuously
help (and encounter) more people (I seek no personal recognition). However, I
will continue to post photos and updates on occasion just not the weekly in-depth recap that was happening as of previous (for now). However, if you are curious on
an individual level, feel free to contact me and we can chat about it!
Many thanks to the rather large donation of female clothing
that has been handed off to Mercy Community Church, as well as the toys and
other items which were given to the Atlanta Union Mission. Should you have
anything such as clothing, toys, etc (in the GA area) and don’t know what to do
with them, I will happily find a home for them!
So what else has been in my thoughts as of late concerning
the ministry? This quote from Mother Teresa (should the internet prove reliable
when it comes to such), “Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.” What a
powerful thought if one puts it into actual practice, not just for those “in
need”, but everyone. Would you yell at Jesus? Would you slander Jesus? Would
you roll your eyes at Jesus? Well, surely some people would (as there was an
entire group that agreed He should be sentenced to death - man, mob mentality
super sucks), but yet I would say that vast majority of people would not. So
the next time someone is annoying you or you have some unjustified negative
thought about someone you see across a room or (especially if) even if you see
someone in need, take a second glance, replace their face with the face of the
Perfect One and see what takes hold.
“When
the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all
the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will
separate the people one from another as a
shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
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.’ “Then
he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed,
into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty
and you gave me nothing to drink, I
was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not
clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a
stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for
one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to
eternal life. ”
Matthew 25:31-46 (NIV)
