The least of these

Are the poor put in our path to remind us to be Jesus to the least of these?

Recently on several speaking engagements, I have shared Matthew 25:40 with the work in Uganda.  This has been a verse that the Lord keeps laying on my heart.  This morning a visiting pastor at my parent's church shared this verse and gave a similar message. 

We are called to step in their path... to be an intentional neighbor.  We are not called to sit and soak.  We are called to be neighbors with the least of these.  This is when we are being the church. 
Our Christianity is not calling us to be comfortable but compassionate.  We are to be like the good Samaritan... to reach out to the least of these despite our standing in society. God uses us despite!

So my challenge today is how am I being His hands and feet and serving the least of these?
