Wonder what Glenn Beck would say about this:<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we see the world through God\u2019s eyes, we actually do put others\u2019 needs ahead of ours.\u00a0 This is why, when the great novelist Flannery O\u2019Connor was asked by one of her correspondents how he could experience God\u2019s love, her reply was, \u201cGive alms.\u201d She meant do something for the poor, for those in need, which in fact is one of the most telling marks of Christian holiness, as the apostle James reminds us (1:27; 2:17).<\/p>\n
When we care for God\u2019s favorites, the poor, who include the destitute, the widowed, the fatherless, the sick, prisoners, and anyone suffering injustice, we plunge immediately into the cosmic battle that\u2019s always raging between good and evil.\u00a0 We choose sides. Once on God\u2019s side, we come to understand God\u2019s point of view and position ourselves to experience God\u2019s love and friendship in a whole new way.\u201d<\/p>\n
