\u201cHe that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.\u201d PROV. 19:17<\/b><\/p>

There are many in La Ceiba that beg, of which some are questionable. \u00a0 There are many here, just like in the States, that are given over to demon spirits of alcohol and drugs.\u00a0 Then there are the truly needy.<\/span><\/p>

I would like to introduce you to Isaac.\u00a0 When I first met Isaac, over a decade ago, he was scooting around on little cart pushing himself with only his hands.\u00a0 He hung out most of time in front of the same grocery store.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t think he had any legs because of the way he had tucked them away.\u00a0 I realized after seeing him on different occasions he actually does have legs, but he is paralyzed in some way from the waist down.\u00a0 One thing about Isaac, he is always cheerful.<\/span><\/p>

Consider the story in the Gospel of Luke found in chapter 16:19-31 about the rich man and Lazarus.\u00a0 The rich man had his reward in this life and died and went to hell.\u00a0 But the beggar, Lazarus, who was laid outside the rich man\u2019s gate, died and was carried by angels to Abraham\u2019s bosom.\u00a0 Had the rich man had a heart for God and concern for poor, it would have been easy for him to minister to Lazarus because he was right outside the door.\u00a0 Can\u2019t you just imagine the line that the rich man refused to cross to reach out to Lazarus?\u00a0 When we bring this thought around to a little self-examination, we should not neglect our oportunity to minister to the poor and truly needy. \u00a0 Nor should we be dishonest in thinking that we might not be on the same side of the imaginary line as the rich man.\u00a0 Have you truly surrendered everything to Jesus?\u00a0 Isaac always makes me think about this question.\u00a0 He will make you think about it too.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
