Jesus said also to the one who had invited him, ‘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,
You desire Me to walk with you, live in you, remain with you, this is possible when you embrace those less unfortunate than yourself. Remember charity begins at home. It takes courage and discipline to be unfailingly kind to those whom you do not feel so inclined to be kind to because you find them difficult. In their weakness, in their incapacity to be appealing to you but rather quite the opposite, it takes an act of will to see Me in them. Never forget, whatever you do, good or ill, to any of these little ones, you do to Me.
