Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Romans 12:9-13

Focus. Single-mindedness. Someone in your “area of influence" is in need. You can't do everything but you can do something. Find out what that something is and do it. It could be a letter. It could be a meal. It could mean loaning or giving money. It could mean traveling overseas to do it. It may cost you. Pray that God will give you what it takes to accomplish it.

Share with God’s people who are in need.
