"Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?" ask the Pharisees of Jesus. Jesus replied, "Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do." (Luke 5:27-32).
I love this passage because it speaks to my heart.
I was one of the wayward sinners, completely separated from God. I was lost and alone wandering in the desert trying to find my way. Thank God for a sweet and ornery Sister, who fed me and gave me comfort and became my friend. She opened her heart to me, allowed me to question and to disagree and walked beside me during my long journey to know God.
Thank God for the ministers of Christ who reach out and give the lowly a hand up.
Look around, seek out the lonely and the lost, reach out your hand, have a meal with them, and be a friend. These are the people who need you, these are the people whom will transform your life.
