God loves the poor and needy people. He asked us not to,
"He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor." (Proverb 14: 31).
Considering those that trust in God, mostly is the poor and the needy. They had no where to turn during their suffering because most people looked on them and scorn them. You know I felt so good when I walk the city of Rochester, I go to the "SLUM" that most people afraid to go. I talk with the poor and the needy people because I'm no different from them. We breath the same air, lives under the same cloud and walk on the same earth. What makes be to be better than them. The rich man dies and the poor man dies, show me a difference in this. What we must do is to help them out of their poverty and stop scorning them.
When I was growing up in the Island, I was taught that white people are superior than to me. Well, to me as a teenager, I found it very disgusting. So I began to read many books about white people and black people. The only thing that I saw then that was different, they colonized many countries and black people did not. Skin color, riches, to me at that time and even now is naught. What I look at in a person is compassion towards others. Then I thought, if God created everyone white and rich, the world would not function as it is now, because everyone would be so rich they would not work with each other, because they are rich.
God as founded Zion and he wants the poor to dwell in it.
My parents told their children to take care of the poor in whatever country we choose to dwell. Three time per year Word of the Living God Prayer Ministries, has community cookout to feed the poor and the needy. We do not give these people out dated food, we buy fresh food and spent time in cooking it and gives it to the poor and the needy people. We do not look at color, we looks at the poor and the needy.
