We don’t get to choose where we are born. Many of us were blessed to be born in North America. Others of us, like me, were born other places and then moved here. It’s not always easy to live here. We have our own struggles, but most of us at least have water that comes out of a faucet in our homes. Many places in other continents don’t have water, and people have to walk miles in order to fill water jugs for their families. That is a whole new level of poverty and need.
Over 1.5 billion people in the world live below the absolute poverty line, which means they try to survive on less than $1.90 per day. Compared to these individuals, most of us are quite wealthy. But what we have doesn’t belong to us; it belongs to God. God has blessed us, so we should bless others, both in our communities and around the world. As Proverbs says, “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.” What does this look like? Well, it can be giving money to missionaries, going abroad on missions, or finding a Christian charity that is doing good work that needs your money. You could sponsor a child, or react to a global crisis by sending money to relief organizations. Maybe money is tight for you. So, give your time to local charities. Whatever we can do to be generous to the world’s poor will show Christ’s love to the nations.
