Nobody said it would be easy....

This summer has challenged me in a few ways. God has really placed it on my heart to seek justice for the 'least of these'. So, I am learning how to do just that. I feel it is important to meet people's physical needs if we ever hope to meet their spiritual needs. I know that I am only seeing the tip of the iceberg, but sometimes it feels so overwhelming. The stories of all the different people that I see, they often break my heart. I have only one option, that is to be compassionate to these people, to treat them with respect, to listen to thier story. However, in doing that I must be recharged each day by God. In and of myself I can not do this, but with him I can.
