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 😘

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...

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 ...

Part 3

By
In case you missed it, here's  Part 1 and Part 2 The next step is Reach Out! Verse 22 says the father wasn't listening; he was already calling out to the servants. He didn’t wait for the son to finish his apology speech. He reached out in compassion, he reached out in forgiveness. That is a sign for us too as individuals, don’t always be the one to be reached. This is Christmas period, reach out to someone.  Today my younger sister and her friends went to Old people's home to clean up for them. They didn't have to give them any material thing. What made me laugh was when she said the prayers were much; I mean old people can pray. I told her it is a good thing. But this doesn't mean that you should always expect something when you reach out.  I hope this week you reach out to someone or even a group of people. And I know God is preparing your special package because nothing you do goes unnoticed by Him; man might not be able to thank you but He ...
