Have you ever felt inferior or experienced rejection? Perhaps you have not been categorized like a Samaritan where you were despised or looked upon as a second-rate citizen, yet you may have been given the impression that you are unequal and looked down upon. Isn’t it interesting that when we have experienced pain and hurt through the actions and words of others, it causes us to empathize more for the sake of others? Could it be that the Good Samaritan’s wounds and hurtful experiences in his life gave him a compassionate heart and that is why he stopped to help the man-who-fell-among-thieves? There is power in our life experiences, and we can use them to benefit the lives of others. Put yourself in the sandals of the Samaritan. Today we send our Youth Gathering Team in the Sandals of the Samaritan to serve their neighbors in New Orleans. We surround them with God’s and our blessings!
