Each of us are called by God to be his hands and feet, showing His unconditional love to those around us. We are all called to love God, and love our Neighbor, so that they will give glory to God.
It is easy to love those who we are comfortable with, and who are in our social circles. But we are called to love those who are those who are enemies and those considered evil or unjust.
Matthew 5:43“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers,i what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Some of the most underserved by the church are men and women in prison. There are actually many believers who through struggling with sin and addictions have ended up serving time in prison.
Resources in the San Diego area that provide opportunities for believers to volunteer and minister to those in prison, those recently released and in re-entry, and their families.
