Remember the poor

"All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do." – Galatians 2:10

When you're driving on the road and see a homeless person with a sign, what do you do? Do you tend to think, "They're just begging for cash so they can support their habit." Unfortunately, in many cases this is true. But there are people out there who don't have some sort of addiction that put them on the streets. Some people are so poor they have to beg on the side of the road.

That being said, there are also con artists that live in normal houses and dress up in "hobo" clothes and beg. This is just a way to easily make a ton of cash.

The smart thing to do is not to just keep on going about your day, but if you have the money, stop and buy them a burger or something. Some people even make kits to hand to people that consist of things like hand sanitizer, tissues, gloves, and other things that might make it easier on people living outside.

Show them love. Christ spent a good part of his time with poor people, showing them love. Let's do the same.
