This is what He will
say to the righteous at judgment day:
 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;
naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in
prison, and you came to Me.
MATTHEW 25:35-36
In his book, Invitation To A Journey, Robert
Mulholland states, "[Christ] gave himself totally, completely,
absolutely, unconditionally for others” (41). We can measure the
progress of our spiritual formation by our love and care for others. Have we
grown like Christ in service? Do we feed the hungry, give shelter
to the homeless, protect the widow and child, or give aid to anyone else
who needs help?
Do you have time and talent to give for the sake of
others?

affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God' people who are in
need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless
and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who
mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be
