I raise up a prayer for all the mistreated, misunderstood, abused, depressed, lost, and desperate. For those who feel like they’re invisible and for those who feel anger and hatred toward people and the world. For those who feel like they’re too different, too strange to be accepted. There is One who understands, who cares, and accepts. But, my brothers and sisters, we can do more too. Reach out to them. The outsiders and outcasts are least of these too. They need our friendship, love, and compassion as much as the homeless and the helpless. Look past the labels society and the world has given them. Stand apart as Jesus did. Lord, give us Your heart for the least of these; the misunderstood and lost. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
