Out in the cold

I wouldn’t stay inside the warmth of a cozy home and leave my pinky finger outside in the freezing weather. And yet this is what often happens in the church. We neglect the outsider, the person who is different, or the person who is a burden. We leave them outside in the cold instead of bringing them into the warmth and love of fellowship. They are part of our body, and we need them. They are a vital part of the body. God is not neglectful in His design.

Lord, help me to be a place of warmth and love for others and to pursue them with Your love.
