LUKE 14:12-14
‘When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.’
---- Mine,
crippled, maimed, and poor in the physical sense. There is a far deeper, far greater, far more gnawing hunger and pain than that which is physical and there are many who suffer from it. It is the spiritual and emotional suffering of loneliness, of being a victim of the ills and evils of a society that is increasingly cold, indifferent, godless, and cruel. Train yourself to look for these poor souls and share with them what they need most, a word of kindness and the gift of friendship. Let them know they are not as alone and they imagine because you are there.
