'Don't ask God to bless what you're doing.
Find out what He's doing.
Its already blessed!'
-Bono



'Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
Rescue the weak and needy'
Psalm 82:3

'He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap'
Psalm 113:7

'I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor
and upholds the cause of the needy'
Psalm 140:12

He is changing our focus;
Turning our eyes to something of great importance.
He is breaking our hearts for the things that break His.
He is with the poor.
The poor are not just in Africa or India.
They are around us.

They are people we see everyday.

Do we walk by, pretending to be fixated
on a piece of lint on our shirt, so as to not make eye contact?

God wants us to be very aware of the needs in our city.
What are we doing to make a difference.
I want to do something....ANYTHING that will change a life.

In our home group, in the summer,we usually do lots of fun activites...
BBQ's, outings to the lake etc...But this year, we want to do
things that will make a difference. We are going to be doing some
pretty cool stuff. And I'm really excited for it!
