Our world is full of migrations.  Recently a co-worker in the Northeast visited some asylum-seekers, a family who really didn't know how to get any resources in their new situation.  Yet this family was the host as my co-worker visited them.   All the family had to offer her was water, and a marshmallow—that is all they had in their empty apartment.  Yet they had something, and they were allowed to be the host.  

Just as others “can’t hear the gospel until they see the gospel,” so also, we will not be effective at sharing a gospel that is out of focus and not applicable to the people God has set before us. That includes our acts of compassion and kindness—If we refuse to see the true need, we cannot show them God’s love.
