God loves broken people.
Healing begins with Him.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 147:3
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

The Value of People
Philippians
2:3-4
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

A young
man in our tri-state area worked hard to make a difference this holiday season.
Noah wanted to help people who have no home. He knew they were cold and needed
comfort. On Facebook I saw his challenge. He asked everyone to gather socks and
blankets to give to folks who are homeless. In his challenge, I saw an opportunity
to share with my granddaughter. We went shopping for items the homeless shelter
near me might use. I explained to her that there may be children who have
nowhere to live. She carefully chose a beautiful scarf and gloves for a child
her age.
After we
paid for the items, we drove to the shelter and delivered the bags. The people
staying at the shelter were so appreciative. I'm so glad Noah set the wheels in
motion. Jesus wants me to see the needs of others before mine. I've been
blessed at times in my life with help when I needed it. I want to pass that on.
Paul's words in Philippians speak to the church, God's people. As I enter this
new year I pray I can keep these words close to my heart. Value others above
myself and look to their interests. Praise God for people who care.
