| Hussain Sugar Lake, Hyderabad, India |
Got to experience a little bit of Hyderabad today. Driving around the city is much like driving around any developing community; riches and rags, well-to-do and well in need, satisfied and surviving.
We saw driving that, by American standards, would be considered insane. We saw smiling faces and waving hands from a bus next to ours. We saw cows roaming free and a boy pooping on the side of the walk way. We saw desperation in the pleas of a mother and her infant child. How does this happen? How did we as humans allow "religion" to separate us from what is really important, loving and taking care of one another?
Today we are trying to stay awake. In the coming weeks we will meet the needs of a desperate people neglected by their own culture. One day we will ask Jesus when we saw Him hungry and fed Him, thirsty and gave Him drink, a stranger and invited Him in, naked and clothed Him, sick or in prison and visited Him. Jesus will answer us, "to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me."
