Poor People

Leviticus 23:22 according to the message says: When you reap the har­vest of your land, don't reap the corners of your field or gath­er the gleanings. Leave them for the poor and the for­eigners. I am God, your God."

There would always be poor people among us. Its nature. We can't remove them. But we can help them.

Some months back, I was talking to a group of teenagers, I asked them who can we call poor?. One said 'anyone who looks like a skrep' (he was the group's joker), another said 'someone who dresses badly, like when their clothes are torn' (kanye do you hear that? Lol), another said 'someone who doesn't have money'.. And some others I can't remember right now. They may not be hundred percent right.. But there are some factors about poor people that they mentioned.

I know part of the five alms of Islam is to give to the poor. We shouldn't leave that task for them alone.. Everyone should pitch in; whatever religion you practice. It should be a humanistic effort.

Chris Travis said 'it sounds preposterous, but its true Jesus left us to do his work when He went to Heaven. You and me, with all of our foolishness and sin.

Don't just do good to only people you know. Some excuses might be 'I don't have money', poor people don't need ONLY money.(totally agree money is a very huge factor by the way) Funny thing is that there's something deposited in everyone of us. Yours might be money, another person's might be a smile, or knowledge, or clothing. Anything. Just give.

P.S: Be thankful you have something to give. 😉

With love, the InspiredCutiee 😘

Sunday Special

FEAR Where can I hide from this scary beast I'm so tired of attending these feasts I have been held bound by your lies  You told me I can't go beyond where I am My whole life I had dreams that would transform the world I saw myself sitting with Kings Dinning with Princes But In reality,all that was on my plate was hate I looked around and saw regret You made me feel comfortable, here on this dinning table Feeding me with stories of how I can't, How I wouldn't be able to! You told me they would laugh at me the moment I opened my mouth to speak That explains why everyone thinks I'm weak I got letters of Invitation from greatness You tore them right before my eyes You took me out once in a while to see your friends,mediocrity, status quo and Impossibility They seemed cool at the time Till I met faith Then I realised my whole life has been a deception All this while I was at the wrong reception Faith took me on a walk and showed me all the things I ...

The SS 4

By
If you’ve been following these series, you know they started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe). If you haven’t (where have you been!) – you can read the Kick Off , Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 . I concluded part 3 saying watch out for myth 3… (still watch out!) ‘I thrive on purpose’, ‘I exist because of purpose’, so what then are the things I should be conscious of during this phase? Literally what lessons should I gather from my singleness? This requires a critical look at Genesis 2: 8-17: 1.       Place: God has a purpose for every place He puts me, He wants me to see, learn something before He can show me the next step. For example; He placed me in my family for a reason. Ironically many (myself inclusive) place ourselves and source for a person or people to validate this place we’ve placed ourselves. Even more sadly, many (myself inclusive) fight the place God has placed us. 2.      Pu...

List

By
As we countdown hours to the end of the year, in every corner there seem to be lists of things that happened this year; they maybe favorite or worsts, or top experiences or things that made history, sha lists. (you get my drift right?). I don't think I have sat down to draw up a 'list' well expect when I was applying for a job and they specifically said give 10 reasons why we should hire you. Yeah that happened. Lol. So I have been thinking, really thinking. A whole lot can happen in a year, emphasis on  'whole lot'. Except you write every detail of what happens daily and not miss a day (I wonder if there are people that are this deep) you are bound to forget some things. The movie 'INSIDE OUT' depicted how our mind works. (If you've seen it; you have an idea of what I'm talking about, if you've not I don't know what you are waiting for) There are too many things that have happened this year for me as an individual, in fact as a...
