Each of us has a responsibility to help put an end to homelessness and hunger in America and around the world, with God's help and blessings. Amen.
God doesn't inflict suffering, poverty, crime, hunger, hate, or any of the evils in the world—we do. As humans, we close our minds, hearts, and eyes to these issues due to indifference, fear, or because it doesn't affect us or our loved ones directly. We only realize they're problems when they touch us personally or someone we know needs help. Eventually, we all will require assistance in some way.
We can all contribute to helping others, even without financial means:
- Offer your time, skills, talent, or resources;
- Assist others in finding emergency housing, food, work, etc.;
- Spread awareness of those in need;
- Obtain, create or give out listings of local support services;
- Pray for those in need or seeking God's help and blessings;
- Support nonprofit organizations aiding the homeless;
- Advocate for laws that assist the homeless and marginalized;
- Volunteer actively without merely endorsing homelessness;
- Help those who are homeless, unemployed, or in need;
- Donate clothing, food, shelter, or resources in exchange for work.
We can indeed make a difference in others' lives and the world if we care enough to act. By understanding and showing empathy, we can channel God's love and blessings to those in need. Amen.
Our world is in a state of disorder and decline because of selfishness, greed, sinfulness, hatred, and judgment from those who care only for themselves. This mindset must change for the world to improve. As a wise activist once said:
"We must become the change we desire to see in the world." –Mahatma Gandhi
This means that if we don't change for the better, the world won't either, for "We are the world," as emphasized by the song of the same name. Listen to its message to confirm this truth.
May God help and bless us all, to always obey His commandments, do His will, and seek and live His biblical truths. Amen. HalleluYAH!
