Matthew 25:43-45 “I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ 44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.”
I scrambled around for an hour or so, decorating the room for the church Christmas Dinner.
I had turned the temperature down low, anticipating that the room would become warmer once it was filled with people. When all the tasks were accomplished, I sat down to rest. After a few minutes, I shuddered, running my hands over the goose bumps on my arms.
I headed to my car to get my sweater only to find that I had forgotten to bring it.
Back inside, I hugging myself to keep warm, a lady I barely knew offered to let me wear her sweater.
Even though I protested, she insisted that I take it. I thanked her and took my seat.
Why would I remember a little incident like that?
I guess because a near stranger had given up something for me.
The Bible tells us that even small kindnesses, done in the name of Jesus, are noticed by Him.
Giving a bottle of water to a man on the street, holding the door open for an elderly lady, helping a young mother wipe up a spill on the floor of a fast food restaurant.
When we seek to show God’s love to others, we can be a blessing in someone’s life.
We can warm their hearts by being the hands and feet of Jesus.
