I saw a very discouraging bumper sticker on my way into work today, all it said was "All hope is lost". This statement broke my heart as I realized that as a Christian community we're not doing what we're called to be doing in our own cities.
So often I think of outreach as going to international countries, going to Mexico for the weekend, or serving the people on Skid Row. However, here is this person that is here in my community, yet I fail to reach out and show them Jesus' love. Why are we so quick to help those in other countries, yet shy away from helping anyone in our own community and cities?
As Christians, we should be shouting that all hope is not lost to anyone that is willing to hear us.
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 13:13
