PERSPECTIVES
Ask yourself,
“What am I currently sacrificing, doing without, to put money away for myself, for someday ?”
Imagine* spending a day with a Christian going through intense persecution—threatened, arrested, church burned, house burned, spouse killed, hiding, hungry, children hungry—and you could help.

After spending the day with a persecuted fellow family member, you might consider this,
“Jesus, tell me if You want me to help them, now—and sacrifice something for myself.”
“Whatever you do for the least of these, my brothers, you do it for Me.”—–Jesus
“Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.”—–His Book
How do we do that ?
+ Pray for them—their plea is to not be forgotten.
+ Give to meet their needs, their family’s needs, now.
– – –
+ + Their real needs, part of my real family, real suffering, NOW !
+ + My wishes, my possible needs, my comfort, ‘SOMEDAY’ ?
