A quick look around is all it takes to see people in need. Our attention may go to the homeless in our area, or to other countries that don’t have the amenities that most people in our country do. Maybe we don’t have the capability to give money so we just feel for them. However, we might be looking at the whole situation in the wrong way.

In Faithful in Small Things, Kevin Wiebe presents some ideas that can seem strange at first, but then really make sense. How are you supposed to help people in need when you don’t have any extra money yourself? He shares stories about times his family and friends were able to help others, even when money was tight. He also explains that lack of money is not the only type of poverty that people experience.

Along the way, he gives gentle instruction to remember that people in need are not less worthy, and that helping them doesn’t make you any better than another person. We need to keep in mind that everyone is created in God’s image and is worthy of love.
