There’s a quote today that says, “Be kind, for you don’t know who’s struggling.” It was the thought after writing this poem with hope to bring more focus to its meaning. There are so many among us who are suffering in one way or another, and whose to say you aren’t or will never be one of those people. Sometimes it helps to put yourself in others shoes; but what if you don’t know the shoes they’re wearing.
For most people, it may seem they have it good in life, and believe me, they are the very ones who are probably suffering the most, and suffering in secret. It isn’t always for pride they don’t reveal it. It’s because oftentimes when they do... they’re often scorned or criticised for their hardhip.
When you find out about someone’s life struggles, its alway good to help if you can, and not hurt. There are many ways to do either. Just remember Jesus said, “When you’ve done it to the least of my brethren, you’ve done it unto me.” What in depth does it truly mean? It means you may not know who for the moment you are encouraging or supporting, that, that person is Jesus.
That person in the moment you are giving food, clothing, even a glass of water, the person to whom you are sharing or sacrificing something of value, your coat, your time... even money, spiritually, it is Jesus. Just consider, you actually may have it on easy street today... and I hope you always will.
But one day, it could be you in the same shoes as that person you helped or possibly hurtt. If so, I also hope you’ll be encouraged when in that day, it is discouragement you may feel; that as you once helped someone else, help will soon in return, come your way. For God would have it that way; because as you once did it for the least of you brethren, you did it unto Him.
