Suppose someone has enough to live and
sees a brother or sister in need, but does not help.
Then God's love is not living in that person.

1 John 3:17

Leo Tolstoy, the great Russian writer, tells of the time he was walking down the street and passed a beggar. Tolstoy reached into his pocket to give the beggar some money, but his pocket was empty. Tolstoy turned to the man and said, "I'm sorry, my brother, but I have nothing to give."

The beggar brightened and said, "You have given me more than I asked for - you have called me brother."

To the loved, a word of affection is a morsel, but to the love-starved, a word of affection can be a feast.
