The Least of Us

Matthew 25:34-40
God goes places I won't.
I would never spend my life in the streets of Calcutta with the sick and impoverished, or even in North Minneapolis! I would much rather stay here in my cozy home with my cozy family, where there is plenty of food, material possessions beyond what I could possibly use. Why would I want to go among the gangs, drug addicts, the violence?
I am no Mother Teresa.
I am no God. Most of us aren't.
But!
God is there. God is with those who are shivering tonight. God is with those in pain, in the throes of addiction and loneliness. GOd will choose who He needs to be there in person. Today I humbly ask God to send me where I need to be. I pray God will show us where and how we are needed.

Prayer: Lord, may we go where you want us to go, speak to those you want us to speak to, and pray and speak for those who do not have a voice.
Thought for the day: God is at work in places I would never go.
