HELP OTHERS TOO!














HELP OTHERS TOO!


LOVE should be inclusive=
But we don't always
LIVE our lives that way


WHEN we are young and IN SCHOOL=
We create clubs=where
Certain people are excluded=
ADULTS do this too


“But if you
SHOW partiality=you commit SIN........” James 2:9


I always TRY to
Live inclusively=LOVE INCLUSIVELY


Because my MOM
Always taught me=
Love draws a CIRCLE
And PULLS people in


And hate draws a circle
And PUSHES people out


Live inclusively
HELP OTHERS BELONG TOO!


“........for the kings
Of the earth
BELONG to God=
He is greatly exalted” Psalm 47:9


“As it is
You do NOT BELONG
To the world


But I
Have chosen you
Out of the world


That is WHY
The world hates you” John 15:19


“Those who BELONG
To Christ Jesus-
Have crucified the flesh
With its passion
And desires” Galatians 5:24


We try to AVOID
Certain people=we try
To “KEEP UP with the Joneses”


This is because
We all WANT to BELONG
To the in crowd


But the CALL
Of Jesus=for us
Is to REACH OUT to others
To HELP them BELONG TOO


HELP OTHERS TOO!


Jesus drew people IN=
He reached out=
Because HIS LOVE
Was INCLUSIVE of everyone


He reached out
To ALL OTHERS=
We should do this too


HELP THEM BELONG TOO!


This means reaching out
To the BORE
In the room


Or reaching out
To the person
SITTING ALONE at the party


HELP OTHERS TOO!


“In my distress
I called to the Lord
I cried to my God
FOR HELP” Psalm 18:6


VALUE the company
And the PRESENCE of others=
Regardless of their position
In SOCIETY


TREAT every person
As one CREATED
And LOVED by God


HELP others belong too=
LOVE INCLUSIVELY!


In the name of Jesus=and our Father=who LOVES US ALL
