How we treat others is how we are treating Him.

If you saw a hungry child, would you give them something to eat? What about a neighbor or homeless person, that didn’t have anywhere to spend Thanksgiving dinner, would you invite them into your home?

I’ll admit, it would be challenging for me to invite a complete stranger into my home, but it has crossed my mind.

You see, this is what Jesus did when He was living on earth. He fed the hungry; He gave water to the thirsty, but best of all, He gave all a chance (and still does) for eternal life.

God wants and commands us to love one another. That doesn’t mean just your friends and family. It means everyone.

God loves it when He sees His children giving to and loving on others. We are supposed to model Christ in everything we do.

When we treat others with love and respect, we’re loving and respecting God. On the contrary, if we disrespect and are unloving and uncaring to others, we are hurting God.

Love one another as Christ first loved you.

Matthew 25:35-40 -  For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”
