📖 Verse of the Day

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”

Reflection

These words of Jesus reveal something extraordinary about how He views our acts of mercy. When we feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, care for the sick - we're doing it for Him. Every tangible expression of compassion to those in desperate need becomes an act of worship.

Think about that. The meal given to someone who hasn't eaten, the clothes shared with those who have none, the visit to someone who's suffering - these aren't just good deeds. They're holy moments. When we serve those Jesus calls "the least of these," we're serving Him.

This isn't about earning favor; it's about following our King's example. He who had everything became poor for our sake, showing us how to give ourselves away in love.

Today, let's look for opportunities to serve Jesus by serving those in genuine need. For when we serve them, we serve Him.

Ask yourself

  • Who has God placed in my path today that needs His love shown through me?

  • How might seeing Jesus in others change the way I respond to needs around me?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Dear Heavenly Father,

Sometimes I get so caught up in my own little world that I miss seeing those in real need around me. Open my eyes today to see as You see. When I encounter someone hungry, lonely, or hurting, remind me that serving them is serving You.

Thank You for showing me what true love looks like through Your Son. Help me follow His example - not just with good intentions, but with hands and heart ready to help those who need it most. Let my life today be a glimpse of Your kindness, a reminder of Your hope, and a reflection of Your heart.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Together With Prison Fellowship

Christmas can be a very painful time of year for a prisoner’s child. They might see other families celebrating together and miss their mom or dad even more than usual. They might even wonder if their mom or dad in prison still thinks about them.

This is why we are excited to share Prison Fellowship Angel Tree with you. Angel Tree exists to reconnect families, deliver Christmas gifts, and share the Good News of the Savior’s birth with families shattered by crime.

With Christmas just a month away, would you consider giving to bless a prisoner’s child with an Angel Tree Christmas?
