Go to the homes

Go to the homes of the worst people

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed" Luke 4:18

There is no danger of receiving defilement from touching the worst outcasts, if you go to them with the love of God in your heart, yearning to do them good.

Do not stand far off and toss the bread of life to them — as men throw gifts into leper hospitals.

Do not slip your tract under the door and hurry away — as if you were ashamed of what you had done.

Go to the homes of the worst people , and give them your hand; it will not soil it to clasp theirs, and you never can know what a thrill of new life it may start in hearts long unused to tenderness, yet yearning for sympathy.

Put heart and inspiration into all that you do. You never can know what a thrill of inspiration and life, you may give to weary and disheartened ones.
