"I write these out of necessity,
because your life is necessary!
I want a homeless addict,
to be the next person I meet,
as I was once where they are,
and help them find God,
and come home off the street!
Because they are still a person,
with feelings and rights!
They need love like we all do,
and deserve our light!
Just with drugs,
they try to hide,
away from The Light of A Justful God,
whose arms are always,
ALWAYS open wide!
I want to make them,
crack a smile!
Which they probably haven't done,
in a very long while!
Because if being saved,
has taught me anything,
it's that no one is a lost cause,
and that even the strongest,
will sometimes fall!
That my friends,
is where we come in!
We help them up,
and we pray over our sins!
Because I am no better,
than that beggar!
The one you turn your eyes away from,
when they come to greet,
or that junkie,
who lives and may die,
on the streets!"

Author Notes
Proverbs 14:31 New International Version (NIV)
31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,
but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.
Deuteronomy 15:11 English Standard Version (ESV)
11 For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.
We all deserve love and these people are human just like us! We are no better than any homeless person! I was once homeless in active addiction and it was so scary not knowing where I was going to lay my head down at night! I have almost 8 months clean and sober now By The Grace of God!!! Hallelujah!!! You never know if you are entertaining angels when you meet these people and you never know you might end up where they are sometime in life!
Galatians 6:7 New King James Version (NKJV)
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
Luke 6:31 New International Version (NIV)
31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
God bless all of you In Jesus's Almighty, All Powerful, Divine, Holy, Majestic Name, The Name Above All Names I pray, amen, Amen, AMEN!!! If no one has told you today that they love and appreciate you then let me be the first! I love and appreciate each and every one of you and just know you are all Priceless Children of God, that are never worthless, never a burden, that are worthy of love, and that Serve A Higher Purpose!
