While back east this summer, at one point when I was in someone's home, my host was gathering some snacks and bottled water to give away. This individual explained that when bringing such nourishment, sometimes a needy person would not be standing by the side of the road asking for help. However, not bringing along such sustenance, a homeless person often would be next to the street seeking assistance.
Those people who are struggling, downtrodden and impoverished cross our paths when we don't expect them. We find Jesus in those who are poor, in the people who are the least among us. What we do to those who are the least in our midst, we do to Jesus.* Jesus shows up when we least expect Him. May He not come suddenly and find you unprepared.**
* Matthew 25:40, 45
* Mark 13:36
