What I’m interested in seeing you do is:
sharing your food with the hungry,
inviting the homeless poor into your homes,
putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad,
being available to your own families.
Do this and the lights will turn on,
and your lives will turn around at once.
Your righteousness will pave your way.
The God of glory will secure your passage.
Then when you pray, God will answer.
You’ll call out for help and I’ll say, ‘Here I am…’
If you are generous with the hungry
and start giving yourselves to the down-and-out,
Your lives will begin to glow in the darkness,
your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight.
I will always show you where to go.
I bent down and took his malnourished body in my arms as his bony legs wrapped tightly around my waist. He laughed and cheered as he gently laid his scabbed head on my shoulder.I can think of 7 or 8 different infections that I am currently waiting to manifest on my body from today’s encounter, but I can’t stop smiling as I rest in knowing that the Father is holding me, too.I’m thankful that the Father saw me in my filth and helplessness and told the Son, “Pick him up.” He wasn’t afraid of my mess and He didn’t hesitate for one second to draw me out of darkness. He took on my diseases and my unrighteousness and my shame. He didn’t wait for me to clean myself up and get treatment for the festering wounds I was guarding. He reached down, picked me up, and promised to never let me go.

I'm motivated to join God in his global reclamation project. He's on the move, setting his sons and daughters free from their places of captivity. And he's partnering with those of us who have been freed to go and free others.
