I'm reading "The Hole in our Gospel" by Richard Stearns, the President of World Vision. Based on Matthew 25, when we care for the poor, the sick, the imprisoned, and the vulnerable we are actually caring for Christ Himself. "If we truly love God, we will express it by loving our neighbors, and when we truly love our neighbors, it expresses our love for God." Without compassion and justice shown to the poor, there is a hole in our Gospel. It's a powerful book!!
I have been thinking a lot about it. For this month I've chosen Micah 6:8 to memorize and meditate on. I don't want to have a hole in my Gospel!

Lovely page. I love how you chose this verse to reflect what you have been studying, "Without compassion and justice shown to the poor, there is a hole in our Gospel." TFS! :-) LM

Thank you for your beautiful card and the information about the book. You have inspired me to get the book and start stamping my bible out to share with others.
