We were talking about the poor in Church today.
The poor people, if they know the Lord, have to
depend totally upon HIM for thei sustenance.
The LORD loves it when we trust HIM for our
lives and very being.
The Poor Man
The Savior came a walking down a long and dusty road
when a poor man He saw walking alone
He said to the man
“Follow Me My son, and I will show you the way to My home”.
The man said to him in complete amazement
“I have no money sir, how can I repay this great loan”?
The Savior answered in such a warm reply
“Don’t worry My son; I want to make you My own.
The Savior placed a ring on his hand
and His own robe He placed on his back
and then ordered sandals for his feet
and bread and lamb for him to eat because the man so much did lack.
This poor man started to cry and the he said
“No one ever wanted me, why sir, have you done this marvelous thing”?
but then added with a grateful heart
“I will praise Your name throughout eternity”!
It is the poor of this world
God chooses to share such dynamic faith with them
and smiles upon them tenderly
when such love they return back to Him.
