Be Generous to the Poor
Concern for the poor holds a prominent place in God’s heart. Apprentices of Jesus reflect this priority by coming alongside those in need, creating a new kind of family.
Exercise: Be generous to the poor.
Our exercise for this week is to share your resources with someone in need. You can give to an organization doing good work serving the poor, either globally or locally. Or you can give to someone you know in need in your relational circle.
Reach Exercise: Give not just your money but your time.
When you see a need, step in to meet it—whether by serving dinner at a local rescue mission, mowing a neighbor's lawn, mentoring a child, or sharing a meal with someone on the margins—because every act of kindness is a way to express the love of Jesus and build kinship in God's family.
