I’m in Atlanta again with my friend David VanCronkhite who founded and operates an inner city ministry known as Blood n’ Fire, and once more I am reminded of the incredible plight of the poor. The relentless process urban renewal is forcing the Blood n’ Fire ministry to relocate from downtown Atlanta. The condition of the poor is not a priority for the city leaders of Atlanta or for any other city for that matter. And the crusaders who cry out for justice for the poor are few and far between and face an almost impossible, uphill battle. We have all had plenty of bad days, days when things were extremely hard but it is different for the homeless. There is no hope! On top of that there is no hope for ever having hope. The constant reality of not knowing whether or not you are going to eat, or where you will finally lay down at night, magnified by the fact that nobody cares; This is a day in the life of the homeless. The poor and homeless are a constant focus of our Heavenly Father. They should occupy at least some of our concern, our prayer and our provision. What can we do in our own environment to relieve the incredible pain of the poor and homeless?
