''Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.'' James 1:27
Someone once said that when we have a decision to make, and one option lines up with a Biblical mandate, there is no need to pray about it - God has already spoken. Here He makes it clear that His heart for those who are alone in the world is so incredibly tender. As the body of Christ, we are to be the hands and feet of Jesus reaching out to the widows, the orphans, and anyone else alone and helpless.
We are also to keep ourselves ''unspotted'' from the world. Is it just me or is that so difficult sometimes? We are called to be in the world but not of it. Lord, help us remain unspotted!
