And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40
“A life of importance sees the import of giving your life away, to the hidden and the unpopular and the children and the forgotten and knowing this will be remembered by God.”

Special thanks to Daily Meditations reader, Rose Hagler, whom I have never met and who shared this post with me, because it contains our word for the year: “remember.”
God sees what most of the world misses. To him that which is important is care for the hidden, unpopular, the children, and the forgotten. The world does not give a rip about these folks.
Who are these groups where you live and serve? Take time today to think about this. This is another one of those posts where I urge you to get a cup of coffee and reflect.
Why do this? For Jesus, our care for the outcasts is our care for Him. Think about that because if you do nothing for them, it is as if you are doing nothing for Him.
Give your life away for these outcasts. It’s what He just did during Holy Week for you and me!
