Beggar on the sidewalk
common sight.
And I hear His voice
"whatever you do to the least of these, you do to Me."
A coin dropped,
a smile, wave, and "salamat" (thankyou in a local language.)
Such helplessness
I wonder what future the child has
Tears well in my eyes
so much poverty
so much need.
Living here sometimes it's to easy to block it all out.
But may I never become insensitive to the needs around.
31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne
32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates
the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on
his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say
to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation
of the world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty
and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you
welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me
I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came
to me.' 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty
and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger
and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when
did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?' 40 And the
King will answer them, "Truly, I say to you, as you did
*it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me*
