There are Americans who are hungry, homeless, and literally on the brink of death both physically and emotionally. Many of us walk by them every day, failing to realize they are our concern. This nation values the hard worker who hustles to pull herself up by her bootstrap. These success stories are wonderful to see. Yet, this does not mean those less fortunate or ingenious must be denied a helping hand. It is time for us to show our loving devotion to one another. We honor another when we give up things of great value in order to meet a neighbor’s needs. It could be money, one of our homes or cars, knowledge, time, a caring ear, or even our professional connections. This nation will become even more powerful when its citizens are committed to having everyone live the American dream, no matter the cost. Radical acts of kindness toward each other will without question lead to radical blessings from God. And He is more generous than any of us could dream.

Honor Your Countrymen
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. (Romans 12:10)
