Introduction
The poor and the needy needs attention like every other person. They are called the poor and needy because they are in lack and don't have what it takes to meet their needs.
We should not forget them because we are comfortable and have most of the basic things we need. We should show we care and love them by looking out for them and supporting them in anyway we can.
How can we be of help to them?
There are several ways we can be of help to the poor and the needy. Don't forget I said they are poor and in need because they don't have what it takes to meet their need or live comfortably.However we can help by doing the following...
Show love to them
These set of people are mostly ignored by the society,they are despised because they don't have what it takes to measure up and for this reason,they feel dejected and unlove. Some of them don't even need much from the people around them,all they need is love and accepted from others without being looked down upon. This alone is worth more than any material thing you have to offer. Love should guild our good deeds.Giving to them material things
Another way to help these people is to give to them material things like clothes, shelter and food. It's not a news that many of these people are "homeless wanderer" who needs shelter,you can come in from this angle to help them.
You can decide to create a system of feeding for them,you can get them good clothes,the type you feel comfortable putting on. All these will make them feel among and loved by the society.
- Telling them about the love of Christ
I want you to know that that the poor and the needy are not exempted from the gospel, Christ also died for them,the gospel should not be hidden from them,that's the true love we're talking about,we're only replicating that which Christ expressed.
Greater love hath no man than the one Christ expressed in that He died for mankind,we were yet sinners when He died for us. We we're wretched,we lacked all spiritually,we were moving in the rags that sin brought upon us and God looked upon us and decided to come to us in spite of our debt,dents and blemish.
There are many other ways we can help these people,it is not limited to the points mentioned above. I pray you're inspired to look deep within you to see how you can also be of help to them and make the world a better place.
Conclusion.
Friends let's do well to remember the poor and the needy amidst us,they are all around us;in our neighborhood,street corners even in the church.Remembering and reaching out to them is one of the best way to spread the love of Christ.
