The Least of These

"Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me." Matthew 25: 40

Action Tuesday
"People need love the most when they deserve it the least.  Hug someone you love."

This saying is on a small heart-shaped plaque in the kitchen of this writer.  As you think about and pray for your family today, try to come up with some way you might be supportive and encouraging to the one who might least deserve it.  Give them all hugs today, but in your heart give an extra squeeze to the one hurting the most.  If peacemaking and reconciliation is needed, make one positive step in that direction.

This was written anonymously for the St. Mark Presbyterian Lenten Devotional in 2002.  Write in the comments below other ideas on how we can reach out to "the least of these".
