As the Father hath loved me, so I have loved You; continue ye in My love. John 15:9
Lord, I love You because You first loved me in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
While God is the Creator of all, He is not the Father of all. Only those who through the powerful working of the Spirit of God believe upon and receive Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for their sins are reconciled to God and adopted into His family.
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:12–13
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. Romans 5:10
The church should take loving care of women whose husbands have died if they don’t have anyone else to help them.
But if they have children or grandchildren, these are the ones who should take the responsibility, for kindness should begin at home, supporting needy parents. This is something that pleases God very much.
The church should care for widows who are poor and alone in the world if they are looking to God for His help, and spending much time in prayer; But not if they are spending their time running around gossiping, seeking only pleasure and thus ruining their souls.
This should be your church rule so that the Christians will know and do and do what is right. But anyone who won’t care for his own relatives when they need help, especially those living in his own family, has no right to say he is a Christian. Such a person is worse than a heathen.
Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband, and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the LORD’s people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.
1 Timothy 5:3-10
Anyone who oppresses the poor is insulting God who made them. To help the poor is to honor God.
Proverbs 14:31
Father God, thank You for the love and commpassion You have for me each day. Even when I am unaware of it, I know You will hold me and not let go. I know my soul longs for You. Guide and teach me how to draw closer to You each moment of each day and help the poor and powerless that You guide in my path of prayer and physical assistance in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
