Zechariah 7:10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the sojourner, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.

If you are an orphan

God wants you to know...

No one in the whole world
Is a duplicate of you.

He is glad He made you special,
You're the one and only YOU!

It's true! No one else looks exactly like you and talks like you and thinks like you.

Look at your hands. No one else has fingerprints exactly like yours. God is so wise that He designed a fresh set for each person. He never has to use the same pattern twice!

Even if people tell you that you look like your mother or your Uncle Jim, you are the only one of you God made. Long before you were born He planned how you would look, from the top of your head down to your toes.

God made you so special because He loves you. He made you so that you could know Him, and love Him back.

The Bible says that God cares about each bird in the sky (Matthew 10:29). Don't you think that God is more interested in you?

God knows everything about us. He knows the good things that we do and the bad things that we don't want anyone to know about. The Bible says that we all have done bad things (sins) and that we all deserve to be punished (Romans 6:23).

But you and I are so important to God that He sent His very own Son, Jesus Christ, to take our punishment. "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

God loves you so much that He wants to forgive you. But first you must agree with Him that you have sinned.

Right now you can talk to God. Tell Him that you want Jesus to be your Savior. He is always ready to listen to you. He wants you to be part of His family and to help you every day.

Dear God, I am sorry for the bad things I do. Thank You for sending Jesus to pay the penalty for my sins. Please change me on the inside and help keep me from sin so I can live a clean, new life for You. Amen.

A reminder

The Lord always hears the cry of the broken-hearted truly seeking Him

God will lengthen and restore our tranquillity, when we are doing showing loving kindness and mercy,
caring for others,


We as neighbours...
must have a tender concern for one another,
and must not only do one another no wrong,
but must be ready to do one another all the good that God would have us to do to each other

We must show mercy and compassion to every person

The infirmities of others, as well as their calamities, are to be looked upon with compassion mercy.


We definitely must NOT be hard upon those whom are disadvantaged or against those who are not able to help themselves.

We must not, either in commerce or in course of law, oppress the widow, the fatherless, the stranger, or the poor

God Himself will not find us guiltless

And He will fight for their cause...

Not relieving their burdens and helping them as we ought is, in effect, not helping Jesus himself. As Jesus said: Whatever you do to the least of these my brethren, you do unto me...

How does God want us to treat...
orphans, and strangers, and widows, and travelers, and the poor?

Deuteronomy 26:13 Then you shall say before the LORD your God, I have removed the sacred portion out of my house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandments which you have commanded me: I have not transgressed your commandments, neither have I forgotten them:

Deuteronomy 27:19 Cursed be he that perverts the justice due the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Jeremiah 5:28 They have grown fat, they shine: yea, they pass over the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not defend.

Jeremiah 7:6 If you oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

Malachi 3:5 And I will come near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the sojourner from his right, and fear not me, says the LORD of hosts.

James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

 

BEAUTIFUL WITNESS

"Do you love Me?" John 21:16

Jimmie, said his kind protector,
Long his faithful friend and guide,
Jimmie, do you love the Savior?
Yes, the happy child replied.
Can you tell how much you love Him?
All my heart to Him I give;
Love my Savior? Yes, forever,
I will try for Him to live.

Beautiful witness for God is he,
The tears of the orphan are wiped away,
I love Jesus, and Jesus loves me;
And that is all I've got to say.

'Twas the Holy Spirit led him
In the pleasant way of truth,
And he sought and found the Savior
In the early days of youth.
Should he live till years have sprinkled
O'er his brow the frost of age,
Sweet to him the words of comfort,
From the Bible's sacred page.

Children, we may love the Savior;
If we seek Him, we shall find;
Are we ready now to serve Him
With our heart, our strength, and mind?
Think of all His tender mercies,
All the wonders He has done.
Little Jimmie's bright example
Let us follow, every one.

 

WHEN THE WEARY, SEEKING REST

"Hear Thou in Heaven Thy dwelling place: and when Thou hearest, forgive." 1 Kings :30

When the weary, seeking rest,
To Thy goodness flee;
When the heavy laden cast
All their load on Thee;
When the troubled, seeking peace,
On Thy Name shall call;
When the sinner, seeking life,
At Thy feet shall fall:

Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry
In Heav'n, Thy dwelling place on high.

When the child, with grave fresh lip,
Youth, or maiden fir,
When the agèd, weak and grey,
Seek Thy face in prayer;
When the widow weeps to Thee,
Sad and lone and low;
When the orphan brings to Thee
All his orphan woe:

When the stranger asks a home,
All his toils to end;
When the hungry craveth food,
And the poor a friend;
When the widow weeps to Thee,
Sad and lone and low;
When the orphan brings to Thee
All his orphan woe:

When the man of toil and care,
In the city crowd,
When the shepherd on the moor,
Names the Name of God;
When the learnèd and the high
Tired of earthly fame,
Upon higher joys intent,
Name the blessèd Name:

When the worldling, sick at heart,
Lifts his soul above;
When the prodigal looks back
To his Father's love;
When the proud man, in his pride,
Stoops to seek Thy face;
When the burdened brings his guilt
To Thy throne of grace:
