The Least of These

“And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’” Matthew 25:40
I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen the sign, and it always seems to be there at the most inopportune time, looming unavoidably, like a skyscraper in front of me: “Will Work for Food.”
There have been times, I must confess, when my heart was divided. As I looked at the person, I would start analyzing their situation, motives, and what they might have done to put themselves in this predicament. But when I did this, I missed the most important part—their need.
It was during one of these times that God spoke to my heart.
What if it were you?
I tried to picture what it would be like living hand-to-mouth. No home, no security, one day dissolving into the next as the years of my life passed on aimlessly into eternity. At that moment, I resolved to do what I could to help, without judging the motives of the one in need. And through these chosen opportunities, God has allowed me to be His love in action.
Think about it for a moment. The King of the Universe wants you and me to be part of His plan to bring help and hope to someone who may never know the comforts we enjoy every day!
However, this situation has the potential to read the motives of our hearts. The truth is that most of us have more than we need, but when it comes to giving our last few dollars, we hold back like we will never earn another one again! We’re afraid that if we give, then we will be the one in need.
Our Father in Heaven knows all our needs, and He blesses us so we, in turn, can bless others. Then He waits to see if our hearts will respond to His plea to help the helpless.
The next time you see someone in need, ask God to let you see them through His eyes. When we do this, we stop questioning why they are there, and begin to see the real need. As we lift their burdens, they will see Him. We can never outgive the One who gave everything for us.
