Psalm 27:7-11
Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me!
“Come,” my heart says, “seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, do I seek.
Do not hide your face from me.
Do not turn your servant away in anger, you who have been my help.
Do not cast me off, do not forsake me, O God of my salvation!
If my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up.
Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.
Reflection:
We all know what our faith tells us about service…Love our neighbor, What you’ve done the for the least of these you’ve done for me, and Where your heart is there your treasure will be. So God’s message to us about serving others is clear.
Westminster serves the lives of more than 10,000 people outside our walls… in City Mission, SHIM, Haiti, India, Homewood, etc. And they are just the people Jesus told us to serve... the poor, the meek, and the hungry.
It’s often said that joyful givers receive more that those they give to. I’m a good example; my involvement in Homewood over the last 13 years has totally changed my life, and it has brought far more joy to my life I ever knew was possible.
I pray that you participate in serving the least of these and experience the same joy of giving I’ve discovered in Homewood.
– Dan Paul
