“Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable. ”

C. S. Lewis

Some estimates say the scriptures mention poverty more than 2,000 times. Life in the city mentions it on street corners, under bridges, and in darkened alleys at night. Some people want, and they ask. Others need, which asks something of us.

“You will always have the poor among you,” Jesus said in John 12:8.

In Deuteronomy 15:11, God said, “There will always be poor people in the land.”

Jesus said, “Give to everyone who asks you” (Luke 6:30), echoing what God commanded in Deuteronomy 15:11: “Be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land.”
