New Years Resolutions of the Rich vs. Poor
There’s a unique difference between the prayers and goals of people in developed nations and those born into abject poverty:
“I resolve to lose weight” vs. “I am going to trust God for a meal today.”
“I resolve to live a healthier lifestyle” vs. “I pray that I might live long enough to raise my children.”
“I resolve to better handle my finances” vs. “I pray God will bless those with money so they can continue to help others.”
As you contemplate your physical, spiritual, and financial goals for 2010, won’t you resolve to join us in being instruments of God’s love for the poor?
