Praise!
My dear beloved Youth in Christ,

Their only suggestion was that we keep on helping the poor, which I have always been eager to do.
— Galatians 2:10 NLT

The apostles were referring to the poor of Jerusalem. While many Gentile converts were financially comfortable, the Jerusalem church had suffered from the effects of a severe famine in Palestine and was struggling. So on his journeys, Paul had gathered funds for the Jewish Christians. The need for believers to care for the poor is a constant theme in Scripture. 

Caring for the poor was a priority of the early church.

Challenge :
 -Are the surplus wealth of today's churches and parishes 
     shared with the poor?
 -Do we personally share God's blessings with the poor?
 -The world is filled with poor people.  What can you do to help?

Lord Jesus loves you!
