Proverbs 19:7

The poor are shunned by all their relatives—

how much more do their friends avoid them!

Though the poor pursue them with pleading,

they are nowhere to be found.

Poverty appears as a predicament we consider from a distance, like an unavoidable natural disaster or genocide abroad. Until it strikes us directly, precarity remains a news item. Yet engaging with people creates opportunities. Together we can shift the world into a more welcoming, safer place.

Be the one who responds in Love, especially if it’s uncomfortable and unfamiliar.
