Earlier, my wife and I watched a movie called Twist of Faith. It brought back some feelings of losing a spouse, but how God helps lead us where we need to go to find our way back to Him. Anyone who knows mine and my kids (and rest of the family) story understands my mention of this. Not only did the main character (male) lose his wife but his whole family in an evil act. He leaves his "home" only to be reunited in faith by meeting and befriending a young single mother (co-star) with a son.
It is the son who first meets and offers a sandwich to this "stranger and homeless" man. It leads to the mother to open the bible to...Matthew 25:31-40. You can probably guess the rest of the story.
But it is cool to know that our ministry is shown in this movie by the kindness of a young boy, then his uncle, the church they attend and eventually the mom. It is through these actions we can help lead those who are hurting and in need to help find their way back to faith in Christ!
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did to me."
