Care

Today, Paul offers Timothy instructions that provide insight into God’s heart.

1 Timothy 5

3 Take care of any widow who has no one else to care for her.

4 But if she has children or grandchildren, their first responsibility is to show godliness at home and repay their parents by taking care of them. This is something that pleases God.

5 Now a true widow, a woman who is truly alone in this world, has placed her hope in God. She prays night and day, asking God for his help.

Care. This is one of the many places where we are instructed, as Jesus followers, to care for people that are “alone in this world”. Our lives (especially our compassion) should be a reflection of God (and His compassion). Is there anyone in “your world” that could use some compassion?
